Melissa Hester

HR Training Manager

Born in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts, Melissa spent 32 years of her life up north before embarking on a new chapter in the hot desert of Arizona. Melissa’s academic journey led her to the sunshine state to obtain her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from Keiser University. while not exactly spending time there, she is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from the same institution, focusing on criminal justice reform.

Her professional journey took an exciting turn when she relocated to Virginia in November of 2021 when she joined RMC Events as the HR Administrative Manager for the Training and Staff Performance division. She works to ensure our employees are compliant with their DCJS licenses and works at the link between RMC and DCJS.

In her free time, Melissa enjoys spending quality time with her husband and animals. She also wears multiple hats as a professional tarot card reader, author, and an artist!
