Melissa was hired by JDC as a project coordinator to organize an exhibition and charity auction called Repairing the World: Frame by Frame. The event, which was held at the Polish Consulate on May 17th, 2016, raised $40,000, and well over half of the photos were auctioned. Melissa:

​

• Project coordinated event from conception to completion

• Created a website for pre-event bidding purposes, wrote copy for the site, and handled all pre-bidding

• Assisted in choosing photos and making curatorial decisions

• Chose (and coordinated with) printer and matter

• Helped with general event planning

• Planned auction process

• Prepared and set up the exhibition (and coordinated with a small assisting team)
