Hi, I'm Mildred, a Native of Jefferson Parish & Graduate of Xavier University.
I’ve spent over 30 years building, leading, and advising businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs.
I’ve spent over 30 years building, leading, and advising businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs.
While my foundation is CPA-level finance, my strength — and where I do my best work — is with people: clients, leadership teams, partners, vendors, and community stakeholders.
I help organizations grow, connect, and operate more effectively by combining people-first leadership with deep financial insight.
I step in when the numbers matter and time is limited — helping leaders understand what’s real, what’s actionable, and what needs to happen next.
I don't just do the work, I create and SOPs and design workflows that reflect how organizations actually operate so successors have a roadmap to follow.
I work where finance meets business, building relationships, and fostering business growth through financial foundations and collaboration.
No systems? No problem! I bring COO-level thinking with a CFO mindset, supporting leaders through analysis, judgment, and clear direction.
I translate complex financial realities into clear business decisions, build trust quickly, and help people and organizations move forward with confidence.
