JESSICA WEIMER O'CONNOR

I'M A LIST-MAKING, TEA-DRINKING, EXCEL-LOVING, OVER-ZEALOUS HOME COOK ENJOYING LIFE (AND POSSIBLY A COCKTAIL) IN BATON ROUGE WITH A CAT, DOG, BEE HIVE & HUSBAND ANTHONY.

My love of an ongoing and varied to-do list stems from an early exposure to saying "yes" first and figuring out "how" later. Growing up in a creative environment, I'm never more than a few days removed from being up to my elbows in paint, dirt, honey, or cake batter. (Thankfully, to date, never all at once.)

A graduate of LSU’s Manship School of Mass Communication with more than 12 years in the communication industry, I excel in strategic thinking, digital communications, project management and research initiatives. Through professional experience and participation in a range of local nonprofit organizations and committees, I have developed a unique and refined set of marketing skills.

After being in the communications industry for over 12 years, at some point along the way I became a "numbers person". Somewhere in the raw data, charts and pivot tables, there's always an answer to the question or a solution to the problem, it just takes the right person to translate it.

I think two of the best measures for happiness are the amount of time you have to spend with the people who matter most and the number of bottles of champagne you have chilled and ready life's little celebrations.
