I take the United States Constitution seriously.  I am a whistleblower. I do not cower in the face of  corruption.  I refuse to be part of "the program."  Is my career over?  Not a chance.  It has only just begun.  I Believe in Louisiana.

While many people spend their lives trying to follow their dreams, few take the chances needed to actually make them come true. Anne Parr has realized many of her dreams while remaining close to her Cajun roots in her home state of Louisiana. A member of numerous local, state, and national organizations, a dedicated academician, and an environmental conservationist, Anne enjoys spending time with family and friends in and around her hometown of Houma, Louisiana.


A True Cajun

Cajun is something you will only find in Louisiana. Cajun is not only found in the culture of its people, but also the language and the cooking. Cajun is in the soul. Anne Parr is proud of her heritage and it shows in her cooking and spirit. As a child growing up, Anne spent summers on Last Island at her grandparents' fishing camp, watching her grandmother prepare colorful Cajun dishes, and listening to her grandfather’s recollections of his own childhood on the bayou. These memories have had a huge impact on the career path Anne has followed as well as her desire to help preserve Acadian culture in south Louisiana. 


A Love of Nature

And it was on the Louisiana Bayou where Anne Parr gained a love for nature and all the beauty it possesses. She believes that the world we live in deserves to be protected and we should do everything in our power to help. Anne strives in her everyday life to improve the world around her. Her love of animals shows at home where she loves to spend quality time with her two “babies,” her dog Dixie and cat T-Lou Parr. Every chance she gets to be near the water, Anne enjoys listening to the laugh of the seagulls and watching pelicans glide gracefully with wings expanded until they splash down to feed.

A Lifelong Education

Along with her administrative duties as Assistant Dean, Anne held the title of Assistant Professor at Nicholls State University where she taught Culinary History and Development, Food and Culture of the American South, and Product Development and Evaluation. Now retired from the University, she is pursuing a career in the field of law.  Anne Parr has accomplished much in her career, earning her Bachelor’s degree cum laude in 1988 then her Master’s with a 4.0 GPA from LSU in 2003, with her most notable achievement possibly being the designation of Certified Culinary Professional, a title held by fewer than 250 professionals worldwide. Inspired by her family, professors and her graduate studies mentor, Prof. Art Crawley, Anne leads by example, continuing her education as a lifelong learner.
