Profiles

Our Young [PRO]FILES series introduces you to young professionals and their experiences working and thriving in NOLA. During this pandemic, we wanted to make sure we pay extra special attention to those young pros on the frontline of the Covid-19 crisis. With their masks up and gloves on, we are relying on these frontline workers, servers, educators, caregivers, and innovators more than ever.

John Dubar

Operations Supervisor, Ready Responders in New Orleans

When John left Lafayette to move to New Orleans, it wasn’t for the music, the food or the flare of the city. He did it for love. At the time when Dunbar moved to the Crescent City, he did so to be with his girlfriend. Not long after, he discovered an additional love and an additional reason to stay: Healthcare. And it’s for that additional love that he now finds himself on the front lines during a major health crisis, particularly now that the company for which he works, Ready Responders, began conducting at-home testing for patients in Louisiana.

Lauren LeDuff

Assistant Principal, Warren Easton High School 

Amid the ebb and flow of infection rates and continuously shifting phases, schools are reopening. It’s here that their faculty, staff and students are those on the front lines. One such front line worker is Lauren LeDuff, an assistant principal at Warren Easton High School. LeDuff, a New Orleans native, shares with us her experience in this Young [PRO] FILE.
