Evan Melissa Davis

Marketing Coordinator

In August 2020, Evan joined CJBS as an administrative assistant. In 2024, her role shifted to focus mainly on marketing projects and initiatives, and she is now the firm’s Marketing Coordinator. In addition to her marketing responsibilities, Evan also provides administrative support to Lorena Engelman, one of the firm’s equity partners.

After graduating with a degree in Human Development & Family Sciences in 2018, Evan decided to pursue a career in administration. Starting out in a field different from her degree motivated her to apply herself in new ways, and she has since used her educational background to foster growth in organizational environments. Always willing and eager to learn, Evan brings tech-savvy experience to all of her projects. She also appreciates the clarity that accounting provides, enjoying the structure and precision in the work. From her previous experience in customer service, Evan learned the value of a smile and a positive attitude.

Evan currently lives in Chicago with her fiancé and enjoys taking walks by Lake Michigan and going out with friends. Originally raised in the northwest suburbs, she is very close with her family and cherishes spending time with them. In addition to her professional role, Evan volunteers with NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, supporting mental health awareness and advocacy.

Secret talent: After eight years in customer service, specifically in restaurants, Evan developed an enviable ability to listen and communicate clearly, and to understand body language—or ‘read the room’—which is a secret talent that serves her well as an administrative assistant.
