Heather’s background in PR, marketing, technical writing and journalism gives her a unique perspective as a communications professional. She loves translating BarberMcMurry's passion for design into articulate storytelling, and finding opportunities for the BMA Team to give back to the community. Beck has won multiple communications awards, including the Volunteer Chapter PRSA’s Harvey I. Cobert Award of Excellence — its highest honor besides the Lifetime Achievement Award.
