Meet Melissa

BS in Communications, University of Wisconsin La Crosse

Melissa Hoppe is the Galentine’s Day Soiree Event Manager at RAYNE IX. She has helped run large organizations for close to a decade and shares her event management and organizational skills with the RIX Team. When she’s not working, Melissa enjoys playing with her three kids, and occasionally finds time for some gardening and indulging in binging on BRAVO television shows.

MELISSA COULD TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT:

Celebrities and reality tv. Tell me what you’re watching and who you love.
Skin care. If it exfoliates, moisturizes, or gives any sort of glow, she is so IN.
Organization and planning. There’s nothing more beautiful than a well-organized calendar (except maybe a well-organized to-do list).

FUN FACTS:

Melissa named her three kids after one of the world’s most-perfect sandwiches: B.L.T.

Melissa used to have an office overlooking Lake Michigan at the Music Department at Northwestern University and misses the view every day.

When Melissa retires, she wants to spend time picking up garbage by the side of the road or on beaches because she thinks about how there’s too much garbage a lot (like, a lot).
