For nearly two decades, Rebekah Faulk Lingenfelser has operated at the exact intersection of culinary art and public relations. Her career is built on a singular, powerful belief: Great hospitality is nothing without an undeniable story—and a brilliant story is nothing without flawless execution.
 

Rebekah’s professional journey began in 2008, launching an 18-year corporate career as an executive Marketing and Public Relations strategist in the healthcare and higher education industries. Over the next two decades, she mastered the art of brand positioning, crisis communication, media distribution, and high-stakes patient and student acquisition campaigns.

 

Expanding her strategic footprint, she also brought her talents to a premier marketing and design agency. As Director of Communications, she drove success for a highly diverse portfolio of clients spanning the body care, health and beauty, food and beverage, hospitality, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) sectors. As an agency powerhouse, Rebekah was responsible for crafting compelling advertising copy, executing flawless event planning, and orchestrating comprehensive, high-impact public relations campaigns that elevated brand authority across multiple markets.
 

While her days were rooted in high-stakes corporate strategy, her parallel path as a culinary professional and media personality allowed her to apply that exact marketing discipline to the world of food and hospitality. Seeking to marry her corporate marketing pedigree with her deep love for regional cuisine, Rebekah graduated with honors from the Savannah Culinary Institute. Rather than stepping into the traditional, high-volume commercial kitchen box as a line cook, Rebekah built a highly specialized culinary career alongside her marketing tenure. For six years, she has operated as an elite private chef, designing intimate, hyper-personalized hospitality experiences inside executive private homes, corporate dining rooms, and luxury vacation properties. This unique path has given her an unparalleled look at customer psychology, guest emotion, and what modern consumers truly crave when seeking an unforgettable experience.
 

Today, Rebekah serves as a premier independent hospitality consultant, brand architect, and media personality. She brings a fresh, objective, peer-level perspective to multi-concept restaurant groups and luxury boutique hotels—helping them bridge the gap between kitchen logistics and local PR dominance.
