Let's Meet the Welcome Party: Tehaleh's Marketing Team!
As a local, you may see the Brookfield Properties team waving hello, chatting with Tehaleh neighbors, or venturing out to the new neighborhoods and trails to take photos, meet with homebuilders and more. As a visitor, these folks are the first faces you see— or maybe second faces if you make a quick stop by the Post & Pour coffee on the way in — and when you get to meet them, you’ll find the Brookfield team has an encyclopedic knowledge on Tehaleh, the Puget Sound region, and especially the home builders here in the community. Let’s see what they’re up to!
Avrie
- Who’s this Brookfielder? Avrie Mellott: Marketing and Communication Coordinator, PNW for Brookfield Properties. In 2022, Avrie began as a Community Representative in Tehaleh and has since become a staple in Tehaleh’s marketing and communications efforts. While she is still a part of the main welcoming committee (ready to help you explore your options among the Tehaleh homebuilders and introduce you to a Tehaleh Ambassador), she is also responsible for editing and curating marketing content and campaigns for the Tehaleh community as well as Oregon’s Reed Crossing. Avrie enjoys connecting homebuilders to the community, seeing the community develop and grow, and loves getting to see lifechanging moments when new homebuyers discover Tehaleh.
- What Avrie’s up to: She's typically at the Welcome Center, making sure the Tehaleh visitor experience is amazing, comprehensive and fitting for all. You might also find her in Glacier Pointe, taking photos of the neighborhood and Mt. Rainier, or chatting with the home builders!
- Favorite place in Tehaleh: Anywhere I can see Mt. Rainier 🗻 I love to find new and unique places with exceptional views of the mountain. It never gets old!
- What’s up and coming? I’m looking forward to the new retail and commercial opportunities in Tehaleh. I can't wait to see what great businesses open spaces here in the next few years.
Jennifer
- Who’s this Brookfielder? Jennifer Gautier: Marketing and Communications Coordinator, PNW for Brookfield Properties. Jennifer began working for Brookfield in March of 2020, starting off as a Community Representative, and has since become a Marketing and communications expert, welcoming home shoppers, providing community overviews, as well as providing the internal Brookfield Properties team with weekly sales and traffic reports for Tehaleh and their Reeds Crossing community down in Oregon. Jennifer's favorite aspect of her job is meeting and guiding those first-time home buyers. She's feels honored to be apart of such an important and exciting part of their lives.
- What Jennifer’s up to: You can find Jennifer at the Welcome Center inside Post & Pour, providing the ultimate customer experience, working on her weekly reports, or catching up with some resident ambassadors!
- Favorite place in Tehaleh: One of my favorite spots in Tehaleh is Discovery Park. I love the sights and sounds as you stroll around the pond. This park also has amazing views from every spot: between Mt. Rainier as the backdrop, to the welcoming fiesta tables, or even the blooming community garden, there is always something beautiful to enjoy in Discovery Park.
- What’s up and coming? There is so much coming up for Tehaleh. I'm just excited to see it continue to grow and thrive. Having watched it for the past 7 years (as a resident) and having been part of the marketing team for the last 4 and a half years, I'm continuously impressed to see Tehaleh change. It's such a unique and beautiful project!
Jessica
- Who’s this Brookfielder? Jessica McDonnell: Marketing Manager for Brookfield Properties. Jessica has been working on the Tehaleh project as the Marketing Manager for the last two years. Her role focuses on enhancing the home shopper's customer experience. This includes everything from managing the Welcome Center to collaborating closely with their digital marketing and advertising teams. She also regularly connects with Tehaleh builder partners to ensure alignment. One of Jessica's favorite part of her job is seeing Tehaleh grow! She has had the opportunity to witness homes, parks, businesses and community amenities evolve from ideas, supported by market research, crafted by engineers and rising into beautiful structures within Tehaleh. In her first month as Marketing Manager, Jessica participated in planning sessions for Discovery Park Community Center. Now, she gets to drive by and proudly say that she was involved in the planning phase. How cool is that?
- What Jessica's up to: You can typically find Jessica at the Welcome Center, leading a project with the rest of the marketing team, or she might be out at our corporate office in Federal Way. You might also spot her in Glacier Pointe on a sunny, clear day, chatting with our builder partners, or taking photos for our digital marketing and advertising teams.
- Favorite place in Tehaleh: I love Post & Pour's patio. The view, the delicious coffee, the snacks and most importantly, all the cute dogs!
- What’s up and coming? There are so many things to come in Glacier Pointe! A new Welcome Center and office for our team, breaking ground on a new clubhouse for the community, and even more events to follow these milestones.
While the rustling rumors about a new Welcome Center in Glacier Pointe are true, and currently in the works, rest assured: the crew you love to greet will remain inside Post & Pour through the rest of this year. Potential homeowners and visitors can drop in for updated trail guides and neighborhood maps, learn useful information about the community, and which builder might be the best fit. The ladies at the Welcome Center are always happy to help and be your go-to friendly team for many years to come.
