Meet Melissa

With a history deeply rooted in Napa County and a dedication to social work, I am committed to serving my community.

I've called American Canyon home for a whopping 48 years now. It's more than just where I live; it's where my heart resides. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of serving as a Napa County social worker, pouring my heart into helping others navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding; but my dedication to community doesn't stop there! I've been involved in volunteer service for most of my adult life, finding fulfillment in giving back to the place and the people who have given me so much. It's all about building connections, lifting each other up, and making our corner of the world a little brighter every day.

Leadership is not just about making decisions, but about understanding and supporting the needs of the people.

You will see me around town at all kinds of different community events - please stop me and say hi! I want to hear YOUR thoughts and opinions about our city and how we can continue to improve! It’s my goal to do right by our ever-growing community! Tell me how you think we can do that!
