Ally Rea

Over the years, I had the chance to take on a variety of responsibilities, from creating social media content and newsletters to managing payroll, supporting recruitment, and working with branch managers across the company. In my third summer as PR and Marketing Coordinator, I helped bring the YEAA story to life through social media, community engagement, events, and creative projects. One of my favorite accomplishments was helping lead our Google Reviews competition, which resulted in more than 300 new reviews!

Some of my favorite memories came from the people and experiences along the way, whether it was meeting members of our different divisions when they came into the Michigan office, celebrating our teams at the annual Awards Trip, or working on a tribute video for Steve’s 40th anniversary. Each experience gave me a new perspective on the hard work and heart behind this company.

YEAA gave me so much more than professional experience. It gave me the opportunity to try new things, take on challenges, build confidence, and learn from people who believed in me. I’m incredibly grateful for the relationships I built and the support I received throughout my three years. YEAA will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll carry everything I learned with me into the next chapter of my career.
