Macy Brittain-Thrive Coach
Macy started with ELI in August of 2018 as a Samford Masters of Social Work intern. After falling in love with the mission and vision of ELI, Macy interned for a second year and then was excited to be offered a job upon her graduation in May 2020. Macy grew up in Acworth, Georgia and became passionate about missions work in high school. After spending college summers in Guatemala working in community development, she turned that passion into a career at ELI!
According to Macy, the most inspiring part of her job is seeing the drive moms have to move their families from crisis to thriving. She is consistently awed by the sheer will-power and determination to raise a family and accomplish huge life goals.
When she is not at work, Macy can be found with her high-maintenance rescue pup from East Lake, reading on her back porch, or baking for the staff. When she was five she was pretty sure she would grow up to be a famous Christian singer, but we are all glad that dream did not work out. Macy currently lives in East Lake and recently got married to Ian this past June (2022) and are they are happily starting their new life together. Macy and Ian are members of Redeemer Community Church.
