A believer from a very young age, Melissa grew up attending church and youth group. Even with that foundation, she was determined to take her own path in life and had to learn some tough lessons along the way. One day she realized that knowing about God is much different than personally knowing God, so began her journey of intentionally pursuing a relationship and seeking His will for her life. Most recently, this pursuit has led her to a role as Grant Assistant with 71Five. 

 

Originally from Wyoming, Melissa lives in Talent with her family.  She enjoys hiking, reading and she spends a lot of free time at bowling centers cheering for her kids. While her story has had many unexpected twists and turns over the years, the faithfulness of the Lord has been constant.
