Mae hails to us from @hwvdestin where she spent the last few years in their Marketing and Events department. Originally from South Carolina, she started in the music industry in Audio Visual Production studying Music Business at @radfordu, but when she graduated and moved to Destin, FL, she fell in love with her job at HarborWalk Village and the event industry as a whole - and boy we're glad she did!
When Mae isn't working she loves to travel, spend time doing arts and crafts, and cheer on @clemsonuniversity with a Kentucky Mule in hand. Mae's new to Pensacola, so be sure to give her a warm welcome next time you're in the taproom!
Melanie brings us 20 years of craft beer and hospitality experience from around the U.S. back to her Pensacola home.
We're excited to welcome Melanie Strickland to her role as operations Manager at R&R of Pensacola.
