Melinda brings over thirty years of accounting and finance experience from both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Before joining Ed Partners, she was the Director of Finance at Tides overseeing $500 million in annual revenue and 160 fiscally sponsored projects. She has also held finance management positions at Brandeis Hillel Day School, Presidio Graduate School, Kaiser Permanente, and Heald College.
