Free Tour of the New Orleans Garden District

I grew up on the New Orleans Westbank in the borough of Gretna. After graduating High School I attended University of New Orleans pursuing a Bachelor's degree in History. I also worked full time at DiMartino's which makes the best muffuletta in New Orleans. When Hurricane Katrina rolled through in 2005 I ended up moving to Pennsylvania for a few years. I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in History in 2009 in the hopes of becoming a teacher. Teaching never materialized which was no surprise considering how little demand there was for Social Studies education. I ended up working at Ochsner Medical Center in the outpatient Psychiatry and Internal Medicine Department. One day I left my badge behind in the mailbox of my Department Head and started driving for Uber which I did for a year. With the advice of my brother Sean and a sudden rekindling in my love for history I decided to start giving tours. I have not looked back ever since. I've always felt being a native New Orleanian with a variety of different life experiences in this city has given me the ability to provide different insights on my tours than what might be expected. The teacher inside of me will always enjoy the feeling of engagement. I love leading tours and I love meeting the people who take my tours and making their trip to the city a great and, hopefully, an enlightening experience.
