A self-educated lover of books, gardening, plants, art, projects, and theology, she has a keen understanding of both Scripture and human behavior, and a deep, lived commitment to Jesus. Behind the scenes, Melanie has been instrumental in strengthening Downey Park Counseling and at home she anchors her family with loyalty, resilience, and quiet strength.
