"Being with people gives me energy and keeps me moving forward"

Hi, I’m Elisa, and I was born and raised in south Louisiana. No matter where I’ve lived, I’ve always held onto my love of Cajun cooking. Whether I’m feeding family, friends, or someone I’ve just met, cooking is how I share a little piece of my heritage and show people I care.

Life at home is exciting with my two golden retrievers, Rolex and Sydney. Whether we’re out walking the neighborhood or swimming in the pool, there is never a dull moment.

I love to travel. Experiencing a new culture through its food, wine, and the people you meet along the way is one of my favorite things. Croatia is at the top of my travel list, and turning 50 reminded me that it is just the beginning of discovering new things. Life is too short to keep putting those adventures off.

I’ve been busy lately building Roux Strategy Lab, my marketing consultancy agency, while staying open to new opportunities. What really gets me going is taking on tough challenges, meeting people who have fascinating ideas to share, and finding ways to make a real difference in helping businesses grow and thrive. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a business flourish because of a strategy you helped create.

This season of life has given me a different perspective. I’m more confident in who I am, more appreciative of the people around me, and excited to see what comes next.
