Melissa is a life long friend of the environment.  Her first memory of caring about the planet as a child is taking her little red wagon door to door to collect newspapers from her neighbors to recycle.  Since then, Melissa remains a die hard recycler and environmentalist and her career has led her to work with a diverse range of people in  communications, marketing, and management.  Her long-term experience includes working for state, tribal, county, and local governmental units, for large and small media companies, and for private and non-profit businesses.

Her educational background is in community development, marketing psychology, social media management, early childhood education, and office management.  She's a natural educator, enjoys working with all age groups, from tiny tots to elders to help them learn and discover new things.  She is a very active volunteer serving on various local and regional boards as an officer or  director.  Melissa is honored to serve as the state of Michigan's appointee to the Antrim county Health & Human Services Board where she serves as vice chairperson.

Melissa has one great son, two fun beagles, takes care of her dad, and in her free time likes to hike, read, and make art (pottery and painting).  She is an avid learner.  Education is a key component in her life and her mantra of "never stop learning" carries over into the Antrim Conservation District.  She is a member of the North American Association for Environmental Education and the Michigan Alliance for Environmental and Outdoor Educations.  Melissa strives to help all age groups learn about what the District does, why it does it, and how the community can take part in all the good things the ACD does to protect and conserve the natural resources in our county.
