Known for her southern charm and warm kindness, our Louisiana raised biller  joined Optimum in late 2020. Since joining the team she has welcomed our team like her own family-dubbed the “mom” of the office. Her favorite hobbies include quilting and reading (not at the same time!). When she isn’t crafting, Connie loves to spend time with her husband, Ron, her children and stepchildren. And who could forget the snuggles from their cat, Lambchop!
