👋 Hey, I'm Melissa Brown.

Currently working with Luis & Hans over at Sunday Afternoon Project – a nonprofit that helps people connect through sharing stories about their identities.

🤹‍♀️ Exercising a combination of marketing, coaching, and customer success, I get to contribute value using all of my varied skills. And I love that.

💡 I bring a self-studied understanding of psychology and human behavior, practiced empathic communication and public speaking, and an innately diverse set of skills and perspective -- traveling the world for a couple years has something to do with it, my curiosity, copious extracurriculars and drive to create are a big part of it too.

👥 A people person through and through, collaborating and building towards a shared vision together is key for me. I evangelize everything I love and am always strategizing ways to make things better.

When I'm not working, I'm paddle boarding on the lake, bouldering at the climbing gym, or coaching people through career transitions. I also enjoy writing about personal development, food, sharing peoples' stories, and going to speaking events -- as a speaker and a listener. Oh, and I'm currently obsessed with Escape Rooms.

I've done some fun things:

👰 Officiated 2 friends' weddings in Cancun & LA!
