Bio
Mélanie Dionne
Nathalie is a very passionate person who gives her all to her job and community. She is a team player who goes above and beyond to help the organization she works for. I saw this best while she was at Maison Vale Hospice and was doing presentations for the hospice during United Way's Annual Campaign. She was always ready and willing to do presentations which allowed her to educate people in our community about the hospice. Nathalie is also a well organized person and takes pride in her skills as well as work ethic. It was always a pleasure when I had to contact her!
