“My favorite activity in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou is spending time on the water. Whether it’s an airboat, swamp tour or fishing, nothing beats the natural beauty found throughout Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou in Lafourche Parish.”
Marketing Communications Manager
Kellie Walters has been the Marketing Communications Manager for Louisiana's Cajun Bayou Tourism since May 2016. She is a graduate of The University of Louisiana at Monroe and has over ten years of experience as a marketing and communications professional.
"Fishing is my favorite thing to do in Louisiana's Cajun Bayou! Growing up in Lafourche Parish, my family spent many days on the water catching redfish, speckle trout, and crabs, and I still love a great day in the boat soaking up the sun. There's nothing like the thrill of reeling in that perfect catch surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the bayous."
Office Manager
Misty has worked for Louisiana's Cajun Bayou Tourism since the summer of 2015. She was raised on the bayous of Lafourche and is a graduate of Nicholls State University.
"Growing up in Lafourche Parish, I have always been interested in the wonderful history and culture that's found here. I enjoy riding in the boat and going down the Bayou into the swamps. There's no other pastime quite as relaxing to me."
Sales Manager
Melissa Chiasson has been a Travel Counselor for Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou Tourism since May of 2017. Born and raised on Bayou Lafourche, Melissa has worked with the Louisiana Restaurant Association, Thibodaux Main Street, Inc. and the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce.
“My favorite thing about our Cajun Bayou is the people, and the culture. We are warm and engaging, some of the friendliest people anywhere. If we don’t greet you with a hug, then we sure do part with one. Do you need a ride, a bite to eat, a place to stay? Ask us for directions and we will sit down and draw you out a map. I love where I live!”
