Hi, my name is Melissa Berry. I'm currently completing my post-baccalaureate in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing at the University of Oregon. Throughout college, I've worked at various retail stores, but I have been enjoying my current position as a part-time barista for Dutch Bro’s coffee. Additionally, I’ve had multiple summer internships. Most notable were with Fidelity Investments, and University Communications. I was able to publish my first article during the University Communications internship. I’m currently on the Varsity Cross Country and Track teams at the UO. In the fall of 2022, I helped my cross country team qualify for National’s. I held the co-chair position for O Heroes for four years at the University. My position encouraged athletes to use their platform to give back to the community. I was the recipient of the Witham's O Heroes Award in both 2020 and 2021.
