About Melissa R. Price

I\'ve served as a trusted communications advisor for more than 20 years, leading strategic planning, corporate and executive communications, stakeholder management, media relations, content creation, and communications training programs. My experience allows me to draw on best practices across industries and locations and to connect the dots between clients, projects, and partners in order to build more effective and integrated communications strategies. Through collaboration and open communication, I translate complex ideas into clear and engaging stories and create solutions that elevate an organization\'s brand and allow them to achieve their mission and business goals.My career has spanned diverse sectors, from aerospace and healthcare to international development, and my work has allowed me to lead communications projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean. I\'m proud to have served at places like the White House, NASA, the State Department, and USAID. I am a native of New Orleans and hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communications from Florida State University. I\'ve also earned a Master of Business Administration from George Washington University and am a certified Project Management Professional.
