Bio
Stuart Goldberg, CFM
Melissa is a passionate professional, putting her all into every project. She always brings her experience, creativity, and energy and inspires others to do the same, whether planning a company event or solving a facilities problem. She adapts while maintaining her composure under challenging circumstances, as I've seen first hand with difficult management and even during an earthquake! She asks the right questions and understands users' needs for space, often better than they do, with a real eye for interior decorating, while keeping budget and future maintenance in mind. And you should see her holiday decorations! Each Halloween and December she turned our office into a wonderland that dazzled employees and visitors, forever improving the corporate culture. I enjoy seeing her pictures on social media of her own home and those she stages, especially during the holidays. I've always enjoyed working with Melissa, and continue to learn from her leadership and expertise.
