I like to say I married into the St. Charles madness. My husband is from here & I feel lucky to have this be my adopted home. My favorite thing to do in STC is discover the wellness community & all it has to offer.

Laura Purdy

Senior Manager of Tourism and Sales

I've lived in St. Charles for 20 years, raised my 2 kids here & am extremely loyal to the community. I sometimes say, St. Charles runs through my veins. My favorite thing to do in STC is to listen to live music outside in the plaza for STC Live or Jazz Weekend!

I was born and raised in St. Charles and my Grandparents actually met while working at the Hotel Baker! I love the River Front and all of the restaurant & entertainment options. I am passionate about making St. Charles a great place to live & visit.

Jessica Hudec

Marketing Manager

I moved to St. Charles in 2017. One of the many reasons why my husband and I chose to live here is because we loved the downtown area. We enjoy walking along the riverfront and trying new restaurants. We are happy to call St. Charles home.

Having lived in St. Charles my whole life, I have such a great appreciation for this city. Everywhere you go you feel a sense of community, and that togetherness is what makes St. Charles so special. I love the variety of businesses here — especially our local shops like Trend & Relic and Jeans & a Cute Top Shop!

I was born and raised in Batavia but I love the St. Charles community and everything this city has to offer. Some of my favorite things to do are to visit the breweries and restaurants downtown, and to take my bike for rides on the trails by the Fox River. I am so excited to be able to help St. Charles continue to flourish!
