Allyssa Compton
Project Coordinator
I was born and raised in Northern Virginia, but frequently travelled to Charleston with family and always dreamed of living here. After receiving my bachelor’s in marketing from the University of Lynchburg in 2021, I moved to Charleston to pursue a career in sales management with Frito Lay. Though working for Pepsico provided me with a lot of opportunities and a wealth of knowledge in business management, I decided to switch career paths in order to stay in Charleston and work in an industry that I am passionate about. With both sides of my family owning successful small businesses, I was very excited to be able to join the CLIMB Fund team and help support South Carolina entrepreneurs in making their dreams become a reality.
Outside of work, I love enjoying the beautiful Charleston scenery and supporting the local shops and restaurants in the area, as well as spending time with my fiancé, friends and two pets. I am an avid indie rock fan, so I also frequent local venues and travel to nearby cities for live music. I have been weightlifting for about four years, so after work you will often find me in the gym for strength training.
