After graduating high school in 2012 she moved up to Starkville, Mississippi to attend Mississippi State University where she studied Marketing and German. Upon graduating she was not sure exactly what direction to take her future. So after hours of research and a little advice from her mentor Dr. Breazeale, she decided to enroll in the Masters of Community Planning program at Auburn University in the Spring of 2018.
During her time at university, she realized that she wanted to help improve the quality of life in communities, especially those in the Deep South. Too often, communities do not understand their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities or threats to them can affect their quality of life. At the end of the day, she want to help communities prepare for tomorrow without having to sacrifice their quality of life.

A Few of My Favorite Things
Cleo Mae and Brown are a big part of her life, and to be quite honest these slobbery hounds run her life (but she would not change it for the world). They enjoy taking daily walks which allows the hounds not only time to get their sniffs in but it keeps them active. The walks give Ms. Esco time to listen to my favorite podcast "Stuff You Should Know" or an audiobook such as Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Reading is a hobby she always find time. She tend to read from a wide variety of genres such as classics, horror, gothic, science fiction, fantasy, or historical fiction.
She has also completed her pilates certification as a way to continue a healthy lifestyle and education. After 3 years of taking a wide variety of pilates classes across several studios, she decided to pursue her certifications. In the Winter of 2022, she became a certified pilates instructor! In her free time she teaches class a few times a week at a local studio. When she am not busy with work Ms. Esco enjoys creating things through various mediums. Crocheting and baking are her two most common hobbies. Each hobby offers her a way to express herself, helps her relax after a stressful day, and it always her to create some pretty awesome treats for her friends, family, and hounds. Also when she can find the time to set aside she love attending sporting events especially Mississippi State Football and Baseball.
As Ms.Esco started college she did not consume very much caffeine, but she quickly learned that it was the secret to my success. Over the course of seven years, she have fallen blindly in love with all types of coffees. Thank to her Poppa Don, she learned quickly at an early age, that the only appropriate way to end a supper is with a decaf cup of coffee. His old habit has incorporated itself into her daily routine.

Ambitions
As a woman with no true home, Ms. Esco has lived in various places in during her lifetime and has seen first hand how development patterns directly impact our lives. When she travel to new places, she starts to analyze her surroundings. Oftentimes she realize the disconnect between the needs and wants of residents and what their communities have to offer. The best way to improve our communities is by understanding how these places are failing to meet the needs of their residents. Using planning principles in combination with market research, we can start to develop and adapt spaces that focus on filling those gaps. She have a passion for placemaking, economic development, resilience, conversation, and market research. Her passion for improving communities drives her to incorporate my marketing skills to pitch and develop sound projects that foster sustainable growth in our communities.
