My Background
Melissa grew up in the world of HR, getting deep experience in Learning and Development and Employee Relations. She has partnered with senior leaders, including the C Suite, to identify the root cause of problems and create innovative solutions. Many situations required her to operate in the 'gray area', testing her ability to think outside the box.
