Melissa has been President of the Board since 2021 and stepped into the role of Acting Executive Director this past August. She brings her nonprofit management experience to direct, develop and grow the organization, expanding programs in equitable directions that align with the values of the Park City community.

She recently moved to Park City from Washington DC where she served as the senior financial officer of an international NGO for fourteen years. She supervised accountancy, investment management, and financial reporting across the organization with annual budgets between $25MM and $30MM. Also during that time, Melissa formed and operated multiple businesses designed to support international development in war torn countries. Her role was comprised of managing day-to-day operations in austere environments to include handling passenger aircrafts, overseeing construction and operating budgets of multi-use facilities, and administering cross-border logistics for specialized materials.

Since moving to Utah, Melissa enjoys substitute teaching at Park City Day School, guiding various international nonprofit organizations, participating on local nonprofit boards and committees, and advising small businesses. Her passion for health and nutrition began while raising her two elementary age children, both of whom had to be constantly reminded as to why they couldn't have pizza for every meal.
