My job is to connect with organizational partners and small business owners to inform them about REV’s services, share city-wide resources, and build impactful relationships to further Birmingham’s small business growth. On the preservation side, my job is to support the development of REV’s easement program, a historic preservation tool that enforces the maintenance and preservation of historically significant structures.

> What’s your favorite Birmingham memory?

I remember in elementary school, my dad took my sister and I to the Linn Park Christmas tree lighting event. I entered a raffle for a bike and was lucky to get chosen by Mayor Langford. Not only was it my first time winning a raffle, but I was also featured on local tv!
