The Women of
White Pelican
Cayla Switzer, Victoria Klasky and Felicia Busby
Victoria “Tori” Klasky, Felicia Busby, and Cayla Switzer are the owners of White Pelican. Born and raised on the Coast, they all love their community and enjoy searching for the next thing that their customers will love.
Klasky found a love for
retail after high school. The revitalization of Pascagoula’s downtown area opened the door for her decade-long dream.
As fate would have it, Busby
and Switzer were looking to
be involved in the excitement
of the flagship district as well. They joined forces. They knew they would work well together because Klasky worked at Busby’s dance studio for 11 years, and Switzer is Busby’s daughter.
Full time, Switzer is a nurse practitioner, but spends her extra time at White Pelican. She has never met a stranger and
is a great conversation starter. Busby recently retired and loves to travel and spend time with her family. Before retiring, she
made the lives of countless dancers better by giving them the confidence to choose a better path in life. Klasky is always trying to improve herself and her curiosity of her interests, be it fashion, interiors, music, or who knows what’s next!
