Meet Ashley Rains
What year did you begin working at Visit Mobile? 2023
What makes working at Visit Mobile special? Promoting my hometown comes easy when you love Mobile as much as I do.
Fun fact about me: My father jokingly said he wanted to name me "Purple" since our last name is Hays, which would make my married name Purple Rains.
What do you consider a "can't miss" Mobile experience? All of Joe Cain Day! Watching the Merry Widows arrive at his home on Augusta Street and then experiencing the People's Parade after and seeing all my friends who are in different Joe Cain Day societies and groups.
What is your favorite Mobile restaurant? Royal Scam for the Gulf-to-table fresh catch, Bistro St. Emanuel for brunch (served every day!), Le Cafe at The Admiral for coffee and breakfast, The Haberdasher for smash burgers and cocktail perfection, Debris for po'boys ... there's just so much!
Professional memberships: Leadership Mobile Class of 2015 (the best class!), MoonPie Over Mobile board member, Public Relations Society of America, Travel and Tourism section and Alabama Chapter Communications Committee
