Mel's office was steps from my desk when I worked at UnitedHealthcare and her door was always open to me - when I had a question, a crisis, or just needed a gut check. I was constantly amazed at her compassion and empathy for anyone who needs help and her ability to quickly find solutions, especially when tensions are high, it's a remarkable gift of hers. Mel's ability to manage multiple team members and the toughest clients is so natural and effortless - a skill that takes many professionals years to develop. I never left a meeting with Mel without a smile on my face, no matter how tense it was. I miss her karoake at fundraising events the most! I can't recommend Mel highly enough as a leader and a team member.", and "I have always found Mel to be a bright light in an otherwise dull world of health insurance. Her knowledge of how to attract and gain clients is outstanding. She is level headed and always up for a challenge. While I worked in Healthcare Services and she was in Sales and Account services our paths would cross on occasion for our larger groups. She is a joy to work with and always strives for the common goal of the parent company (Moda) and the client group. I miss working with her."
