Melanie began working in the kitchen at St. Peter in 2020. In 2022, she became the Kitchen Director. She has worked in many different positions prior to the kitchen that allowed her to stay at home with my kids while they were growing up. Melanie and her husband Jeff have 3 children who all graduated from St. Peter. She graduated from Minnesota State University Mankato with a BS in Spanish. She enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and vacations in warm climates-especially Mexico.  She loves watching MN sports and women's softball.
