I am deeply honored to serve as Treasurer of the Krewe of Antheia and to have been named Goddess—an acknowledgment that truly reflects the heart of this organization and the powerful mission of women supporting women. My commitment to the Krewe is rooted in service, generosity, and the belief that when women lift one another, communities thrive. Giving my time, energy, and resources to this sisterhood is not a responsibility I take lightly; it is something I do with pride and purpose.
At my core, I am someone who believes that no one should struggle to meet their basic necessities alone. I am actively involved in supporting members of our community by helping ensure that essential needs are met—whether through direct action, collaboration, or quiet acts of service. Philanthropy is not something I do for recognition; it is simply part of who I am and how I live my life.
As the wife of Dr. Aust and the Practice Manager of Aust Interventional Pain, I am proud that our clinic reflects these same values. Together, we have made it a priority to give back—sponsoring Angel Tree initiatives, adopting families during the holidays, and supporting Toys for Tots year after year. Our practice believes that healthcare extends beyond clinic walls, and that caring for people includes showing up for them when it matters most.
Entrepreneurship has also been a meaningful extension of my mission. As the owner of Lola’s Art Experience in Mandeville, my goal has always been to create a welcoming, creative space where children and families can connect, express themselves, and experience the joy of art. I believe the arts are essential—not just for creativity, but for confidence, healing, and togetherness. Lola’s is more than a business to me; it is a community space where memories are made and imaginations are nurtured.
Everything I do—whether through leadership, philanthropy, business ownership, or community involvement—is guided by compassion, integrity, and intention. I strive to lead with humility, to serve without expectation, and to give in ways that create lasting impact.
Being considered for Women’s Choice Awards is incredibly meaningful, not because of the title, but because it represents the values I work to embody every day: generosity, service, leadership, and heart. I am committed to continuing this work, standing alongside women, supporting families, and helping build a community rooted in care, creativity, and connection.
