Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, I bring a deep understanding of the local market and a passion for storytelling to my role as Communication Coordinator at Lake Homes Realty/Beach Homes Realty. My educational foundation in Public Relations, honed by the University of Alabama, prepared me to excel in this dynamic field. During my internship at Lake Homes Realty I gained invaluable experience crafting compelling narratives. Now, as Communication Coordinator, I leverage that experience to create thought-provoking articles that inspire our audience. I am also instrumental in developing press releases that effectively share our stories with a wider community.
