Hello Hello! I’m Amalia!
I am the communication manager at The Local Element and have the honor and pleasure of posting and getting content for social media, writing blogs, sending out newsletters, and managing connections and communication across the various TLE branches. I am SO grateful for the team I get to work alongside and love what I do!
I was born and raised in Hudsonville MI, which is a small town with a big community feel. Growing up I was taught to love West Michigan and everything that comes with it. From feeding the fish at the Fish Ladder in GR to watching the Musical Fountain in Grand Haven to shopping in Downtown Holland, it’s safe to say that West Michigan is THE BEST place to live and I will always stand by that!
Not to mention, I am quite obsessed with the West Michigan coffee scene. I LOVE local coffee shops and every fine detail about them. Some of my favorites are Sparrows at Kingma’s Market in Creston, Full Circle Coffee in Byron Center, Wildroast in Grandville, and Sidebar Artisan Coffee in Grand Haven. If you ever visit any of them, be sure to tag @thelocal.westmichigan or @thelocal.lakeshore on Instagram so I can see your coffee shop adventures! 
I graduated from Calvin University with a Bachelor degree in Strategic Communication and am now equipped for a ton of different business and communication skills. My passion is social media and business writing and I am so excited to use those passions in my role now at The Local Element.
Some of my hobbies include traveling, singing, calligraphy art, and line-dancing. I love to explore little corners of the world and appreciate the little things that make each and every place unique. And, if you are looking to get into a new hobby, the Alaskan Pipeline in West Olive has line dancing which is SO fun!
So whether you’re looking to buy or sell a home, or just looking for some information on connecting to your local community, you’ve come to the right place and I can promise you that your experience with The Local Element will be nothing short of fantastic!
