A lot of people claim to be results-oriented people, but 31-year-old Alexa Williams has the resume to prove she can deliver.
Willams spent almost seven years in Washington, D.C., as a congressional staffer before returning to Chattanooga — her hometown — where she now serves as marketing and communications director at Thrive Regional Partnership.
Thrive is a Chattanooga-based growth planning and preservation advocacy group serving a 16-county, multi-state region. It assists planning agencies in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia to help them be better stewards of the natural world through careful growth.
“It’s healthy for me. It’s a good change,” Williams, a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the U.S. Naval War College, says of her current job.
