Melina Young

Marketing Manager

My name is Melina Young and I am the marketing manager at Verity Credit Union. I love everything to do with marketing, advertising, public relations and social media - especially all the research that goes into making a product or service really work for our members and making sure the right people hear about it. In addition to my time spent marketing, I have a blog and write about celiac disease, which I was diagnosed with in 2010. Basically, I can't eat any of those foods we all love that are made with wheat, barley or rye.

I have also recently started running and just completed my first 5k. Some people may not know that I used to do a lot of acting, dancing and singing in my life. I was in a Nike commercial with Gary Payton in junior high (if anyone ever finds the footage please send it my way!) and I used to compete as an opera singer in high school. I almost majored in musical theater in college, but I'm very glad with my decision to study marketing!
