Melody is also a native Ottumwan, and prior to joining our organization in 2010, worked in management at the local hospital. Melody has a unique ability to connect the dots for various situations to bring things full circle for you.  She takes things that may seem abstract and puts them into a concrete plan to address needs or issues. In addition to her various duties here, Melody loves learning new things and has been involved in many activities over the years such as screenwriting, book publishing, Cub Scouts, Emergency Services, AI programs, and learning holistic health components. She is always up for a challenge!
