My name is Elise Watkins, and I am a native of Akron, OH. I currently serve as the Marketing Communication Coordinator for the Stark County Minority Business Association.
I attended Walsh University (graduating in 2017 and 2021), where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in communication and a master’s degree in marketing. I am proud to have had a strong connection to Stark County throughout the past decade. In my professional career, I have held various positions within the Stark County Catholic Schools marketing department. Now, being a part of SCMBA, I take pride our commitment to providing resources and opportunities for minorities, veterans, and women to help grow their businesses and achieve their goals.
When I am not working, you will likely see me cuddled up on my couch with my two- year old daughter, Amoura. She is a strong-willed, brave, and confident girl who loves making her mommy laugh. As a first-time mom, I have enjoyed the last two years of learning, and growing in motherhood while watching my baby blossom into a beautiful person every day. I am passionate about finding ways to help others, especially first-time and/or working moms, embrace the changes that may have come their way through motherhood.
I am excited to be a part of the Newsymom team!
