As our Operations Manager, Mellanie is grateful to be able to help keep the ship running within the Communications team. She has a background in higher education and project management, leveraging those skills to assist in this dynamic team of creatives to help tell the story of Lewis & Clark.
Mellanie is a graduate of the University of Portland, where she studied marketing and environmental ethics and policy. She was very involved in UP’s community, primarily within Residence Life and Admissions. Post grad, she worked within the Admissions Office for two years, which fostered the love for higher education she has today. She also gained valuable project coordination experience during her time at Portland based start-up, CrowdStreet and during her contracted time at Nike.
Mellanie is a PNW native, growing up in Washington and calling Oregon home since 2016. Outside of work she can be found hanging out with her cat Noodle, working through her extensive list of Portland restaurants to try (current favorite spot is Cibo), and enjoying snowboarding during the winter season and backpacking/ camping during the summer.
