Bio
Jesse Melnick
Melissa is smart, focused, and a very hard worker. She would be a valuable asset to any organization. During our time working on shared projects at The Salvation Army, I came to trust and rely on Melissa to provide valuable feedback on my software products. She consistently showed deep understanding of what needed to be done and had the vision to let me know where we needed to go to be more efficient. Most importantly, she always put the customer first, focusing on the needs of The Salvation Army’s volunteers above all else.

For the past two and a half years at The Salvation Army’s Golden State Divisional Headquarters, Melissa and I have worked closely to support the local social services programs. As the new Divisional Social Services Director, I appreciated Melissa’s ability to instinctively anticipate and provide valuable information. By far, Melissa is one of the best communicators that I have ever worked with. I have observed Melissa’s easy, engaging style when we visited local programs, as well as her ability to effectively train and guide the field staff in the areas that she oversees. Every year, Melissa also single-handedly and successfully manages the logistics and staffing of several large scale events. I have also been impressed by Melissa’s mastery of technology, analytical skills, and her wealth of knowledge in just about any topic. Above all, Melissa leads with her heart and her mind and quickly gains the respect of peers, staff members in the field, The Salvation Army officers and external partners. She is a tremendous asset!
