Melanie is a Santa Rosa native and proud Montgomery High School alum (go Vikings!). She grew up as the oldest of 7 and is blessed to be close with all of her siblings to this day.
For college, she ventured to the SF Bay Area, picking up the sport of rugby along the way. In 2014, she backpacked over 2000 miles from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail in pursuit of a lifelong dream.
Fate led her to the snowy landscapes of the Eastern Sierra, where she met her husband while working at a ski area. Together, they moved back to Sonoma County and started their family.
They have two beautiful children, who both have attended Rise and Shine. Professionally, Melanie contributes to reshaping the homebuilding industry through tech. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, cooking, and treasuring moments with her family.
She would love to connect with other parents in the community! Whether it's for a chat, a playdate for the kids, or just to say hello. She's looking forward to meeting you!
