Becka Bates

With the eye of an artist and the mind of a consultant, Becka has a natural command of the details most others overlook. She knows how to promote business with beauty, and can always be counted on to run every project to perfection. Though Becka may seem cool on the surface, looks can be deceiving—she’s really obsessed with sci–fi, fantasy and World of Warcraft (boasting a level 80 Undead Warlock—Go Horde!). A diehard South Loop foodie, Becka loves her yorkie Sukhi so much it’s not kosher.
