In the time I have worked with Melodie, I have come to learn that she is an outstanding nurse educator. Creative and hard-working are two of the adjectives that first come to mind when I think of her professionally. That is only a beginning however. Melodie takes incredible initiative to launch unique projects and then she always gets the job done - cheerfully and enthusiastically. Above all, she is kind and generous, readily sharing her work with me and her other colleagues at College of the Rockies. I am proud to know her and honored and grateful to have her as a colleague. Congratulations, Melodie!
