Mel was born and raised in Farnham, England where she was scouted for a full ride field hockey scholarship to UMass, Amherst. She spent a season ski instructing in Breckenridge CO, where she met her husband who is from Saint Albans. Mel excels at what she does through providing clear and transparent communication, and always being detail oriented and well organized. She is thrilled to work alongside clients through each stage of their design and build process, and she is inspired to be a part of the Lewis Creek team, all of whom are committed to do their best work for their clients. Outside from work, Mel spends her time playing field hockey in an adult league and coaching Varsity at MVU (Missisquoi Valley Union) High School. She also loves to ski and snowboard as well as get out boating on Lake Champlain. Her favorite destination is anywhere hot with a freshwater lake or exploring a new ski mountain. She loves to adventure to a new place and she rarely goes back to the same place twice. People are often surprised to find out that she rides a motorcycle and converted a storage building into her first home. Her guilty pleasure is dark chocolate covered dried mango or raisins.
