Rural Reimagined (RR) is excited to announce and welcome its newest graduate assistant, Ellie Buckner, for the Fall 2022 semester.

She previously worked with Rural Reimagined as an academic intern and recently accepted a Graduate Assistantship (GA) position. She will help lead the Rural Reimagined communicative efforts and manage the Professional and Technical Communication (PTC) interns. Regarding her internship, Ellie says, “I am in a unique position in which I can help people from all different walks of life grow their businesses. Being born and raised in Cookeville, the businesses, the community, and the people here have a special place in my heart. I am thankful to have the opportunity to continue this work with Rural Reimagined in a new capacity.” Thank you, Ellie, for all your hard work! Wings up!
