ROOTED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
When she's not working in her Vancouver, WA office, Melissa can be found sipping on Pacific Northwest Pinot Noir while enjoying some music from the '90s, playing games with her family, or snuggling her two puppies. She is happy to be a "Grauntie," incredibly proud of the amazing human she has raised, and eternally grateful for that boy who swept her off her feet in high school.
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
Melissa is passionate about educating industry groups on the latest trends in homebuilding, marketing, women in construction, and leadership. And it shows in her work.
She provides insights and expertise that can benefit any organization looking to succeed in this constantly evolving industry.
