Meet Kasse Whatley!
Kasse is originally from Oklahoma! She met her husband, Joel, in the Army in 2008 while deployed. They got married in 2009 and she moved to Ponchatoula. Together they have two daughters, Lyla (11) and Nadia (8).
We want to thank Kasse for spending some time with us and letting us get to know about her life and her love of the area.
Q: What led you to your current career?
A: I have a few jobs! I am in the Army National Guard, I have an online business, Adaline Rose, and I am a stay-at-home Mom. I’ve been in the military for my whole adult life, so it just seems natural that I would join the Army National Guard. I love to shop, so I enjoy curating certain products for others to enjoy.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in the area, and what do you like to get there?
A: I love Toula Burger's sweet potato fries.

A: Playing outside while visiting my grandfather.
Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? And why?
A: Singapore! There is a hotel/casino called Marina Bay Sands that has a ship on top of it. I want to see that in person! We also love Germany! I would like to go back there.
