APRIL L. MOSCHELLA

April was raised in the Midlands of South Carolina and graduated from Lugoff-Elgin High School before attending the University of South Carolina’s College of Journalism and Mass Communications. There her studies focused on advertising and public relations, and she immersed herself in all things journalism: she was the Undergraduate Assistant for the SC Scholastic Press Association, worked conferences for the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, workshops for military journalists and photojournalists, and as an intern for Clear Channel Radio in Columbia. She was convinced she would be an ad exec or graphic designer until she took a media law class her senior year that completely redirected her interest. Following this change in focus, April attended law school at the University of South Carolina and graduated in 1997.

While in law school April clerked at the SC Department of Corrections; following graduation she was hired as a Deputy General Counsel. There she focused her legal practice on 4th Amendment constitutional matters, contracts, and medical issues. After her work with the state, April was a residential real estate closing attorney before stepping away from her legal career to be a fulltime Mom.

April returned to work as the Executive Director for the Kershaw County Board of REALTORS® where she developed a profound respect for real estate agents and their profession. Now at Blair Cato she combines her affinity for real estate professionals with her real estate closing background and a shared dedication to provide an attentive, smooth, and informative closing experience.
