military career. Melanie continued to work in the school setting as a volunteer and substitute teacher in Alabama, Virginia, Florida, and New Mexico. Over the years, she made it her mission to raise their two sons, Andrew and Matthew, and support their extended military family by serving as a Key Spouse and Key Spouse Mentor. In her free time, Melanie enjoys volunteering in the community, sewing Renaissance Faire attire for her family and crafting with glitter. Since running her first half marathon in 2013, she has also run numerous 5k, 10k, and half marathons (often in a costume, tutu or Team RWB attire) and survived 3 full marathons. Her personal goal is to live each day according to the motto “You always have a choice. Choose kindness.”
