PERSONAL INTERESTS
When Melinda isn’t working, she’s attempting to “get a run in,” but often that means she’s chasing her kids around the house or challenging her son to another game of “pop-a-shot.” Melinda also volunteers her time at the local Catholic school that her children attend-working on their marketing committee.
