Melissa completed a number of tasks as an intern at Susan G. Komen Central Indiana in the Fall of 2017. She worked on multiple projects ranging from data entry to event planning and execution. Melissa is a self-starter and is willing to attempt any project or task given to her with enthusiasm. She would be a wonderful addition to any team!
