Ask the Staff: Holly Melton

On this Ask the Staff, it’s finally time to learn more about our very own financial and yoga expert, Holly Melton!

What do you do at the Drew Lewis Foundation?

I serve as the Drew Lewis Foundation’s Director of Development, Personal Development Coach, and whatever duties come up as needed!

What kind of stuff do you enjoy listening to (music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.)?

I am a podcast junkie–mostly podcasts about finance, mind body connection, mindful nutrition and fitness. I love old school rock–ACDC, Journey, Led Zepplin, Joan Jett….

What is a hidden talent that you have?

I tell excellent Dad jokes, even though I am a Mom.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I love teaching TRX and yoga at a local studio, riding my bicycle, rock wall climbing, and hanging with my pups.

So why work for the Drew Lewis Foundation?

I love everything about the mission of the Drew Lewis Foundation. I love that our organization is making measurable and valuable contribution to changing lives in our communities, as well as changing the landscape of the Grant Beach neighborhood. The people that work at DLF are pretty boss, too.

If you could tell one fun fact about yourself, what would it be?

I once broke up a knife fight in Paris, France, on New Year’s Eve while walking down the Champs-Elysees. I also howl at the full moon, much to the dismay of my kids and confusion of my dogs.
