Cassandra originally arrived to the Crescent City to attend Loyola University twenty-eight years ago, and has been laying down New Orleans roots ever since.

She grew up in a family always packing bags for their next trip. She has lived all across the United States, as well as England and Spain, and has traveled extensively around the globe.
Cassandra has studied New Orleans’ history, cuisine, volunteered at a historic home in the French Quarter and worked in the city’s hotels. But it is out on the streets, marveling at the city's great architecture, walking under the live oaks, parading to the beat of a brass band, where Cassandra believes one truly discovers the spirit of New Orleans.
