Cammie Bullock Named Administrative Assistant for MSPA Disaster Recovery

The MSPA Disaster Recovery Division staff recently welcomed Cammie Bullock as administrative assistant. Cammie holds a Bachelors of Business Administration degree from Mississippi State University with an emphasis in marketing.

Six months after Hurricane Katrina, Cammie joined relief efforts in Bay St. Louis by working for Lagniappe Church, an organization that facilitated rebuilding homes and restoring lives. She served as the church’s volunteer coordinator, with oversight of travel and communication for more than 10,000 volunteers from across the globe.

Cammie is married to Derek Bullock of Gulfport, and they have a four-year old daughter, Kate Taylor. Cammie enjoys playing piano, working as a freelance makeup artist, spending time on the water in the sunshine and making pretend cupcakes with Kate Taylor.
