Meet Rebecca
Content Enthusiast
Though based in Austin, Texas, Rebecca is a Birmingham native. Her path to Hopson Rae is a bit unconventional. Fresh out of college she worked part-time for Marieé Ami, a wedding planning studio, as she thought she wanted to go into event planning.
Looking for a full-time opportunity, Rebecca took a job at The Exceptional Foundation, a place for those with special needs. Here is where she got her first start in social media in 2015. After managing accounts in the nonprofit and government sector and at a PR agency, Rebecca’s path crossed Aurrie’s in 2019, and the rest is history.

Meet Bebe
Account COordinator
A recent (2024) Auburn University graduate and Birmingham born and raised! Bebe’s experience working retail during high school revealed the power of building relationships and connecting with people, which became a driving force in her career aspirations. Choosing her major, she wanted to ensure that her future profession would allow her to channel her passion for creativity.Her years at Auburn were transformative, filled with moments of joy, love, and personal growth. She’s so excited to be back in the amazing city of Birmingham!
At Hopson Rae, she’s a master of organization and client success. No lift is too heavy, or task too small. We’re so excited to have Bebe join our team this year to help our client relationships and their brands soar to new heights!
Fun fact: Bebe grew up an Alabama fan and is the only person in her family to go to Auburn - pray for her ;)
