As the Brand & Community Storytelling Director for Mind the Gap, Melissa believes marketing is most powerful when rooted in empathy, clarity, and real human connection. She partners with purpose-forward organizations that positively impact and compassionately shape our world.
With over a decade of experience across agencies and in-house teams, she specializes in untangling the messy middles and turning big ideas into brand storytelling—thoughtful, actionable strategy, always balancing hard data with heart.
She lives in NC with her husband and their dog. Some of her favorite things include being a Ninang (godmother), searching for the perfect bowl of ramen, and collecting children’s books from around the world.
