Describe your role.

“As the Assistant Director of Community Relations at the city of Southport, I play a key role in planning, marketing, and implementing city and nonprofit activities, aligning them with my department’s objectives. I oversee the Fort Johnston Visitors Center, supervise volunteers, and manage event displays. Additionally, I maintain and update social media platforms, create marketing materials, and serve as a liaison for the NC 4th of July Festival.”

What are some of the impacts you’ve made locally?

“During my tenure with the city, I’ve spearheaded two projects that hold special significance for me. The first is the Discover the Trees of Southport Forestry Committee Walking Tour, which features an online tour and a physical walking map. The second project is the innovative Southport on Film initiative, an interactive web-based catalog showcasing the city’s rich history of filming. As part of this initiative, I also designed a walking tour for visiting guests to explore the area’s filming locations.”
