Melanie DeMure - Top Ten
1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Praised for communication, organization and leadership skills, it is not coincidence that I’m driven to help “Youth Achieve Excellence”. As a coach and former teacher I’ve recognized there’s great responsibility when impacting the lives of youth. It’s for a time like this I carry the PTA message “everychild.onevoice.”
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
At age 20, I received a promotion to store supervisor of a multi-million dollar home improvement company, while attending Jr. College. I’ve achieved a Masters in Sports Management and was recently blessed to have my 18’s team place 5th at the 2008 U.S. Volleyball National Jr. Olympics.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I love running whether it’s on a treadmill, to a child’s classroom, volleyball or basketball practice, PTA function, community fundraiser, Bible study or grocery store. I balance my life with a joyful heart and sip mango iced tea to rest and restore.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Our family values are wrapped around unconditional love. We teach our children patience and kindness; to appreciate what we have while humble. “Please” and “thank you” are everyday words, and helping others brings delight. We live in the truth and laugh heartily, especially on Friday family night, pizza and movie.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
My husband says, “I’ve cleaned the bowl before I’ve even cracked the egg”. With my life centered on our family of three children, dog, cat and fish, not to mention all the other moving parts, cleaning often wins the race over a good massage and pedicure.
