Meet The Team | Whitney Hampton
Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it!
That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you.
Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton
Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton, one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives.
Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life
Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband.
Education & Professional Background
Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy.
Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023.
Life Outside of Work
Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most.
Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big
Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
Whitney’s Advice to Leaders & Employees
When asked what advice she would give to company leaders, she stated:
“Take the time to genuinely get to know your team, listen to their ideas, and acknowledge their efforts. When people feel seen, supported, and trusted, they will consistently go above and beyond. When people feel valued and understood, everything else falls into place.”
Her advice for employees:
“Always bet on yourself — you're your own best investment. Remember that every job we do starts with people. Take time to listen, communicate with empathy, and build trust. When we work together with understanding and respect, it makes our whole team stronger.”
Why She Loves Working at GRS
When I asked, “What do you like about working at GRS?” she responded:
“What I love most about working for GRS is the opportunity to meet new people and build lasting relationships. This role has helped me grow so much as a leader, speaker, and advocate for others. I'm proud to represent our company on a national level and to be a trusted resource for our industry and community.”
