Melanie Wyler
I grew up in Los Angeles, but for the past 40 years, New York and Connecticut have been my home. I built a career in public relations and marketing in New York, and my commitment to humanitarian causes deepened through my work on the board of a women's refugee organization. This led to extensive travel in the Middle East and Far East, where I supported women and children in refugee camps and war zones.
Now retired and living in Connecticut, I actively volunteer with immigrant organizations in Fairfield County, focusing on refugees, immigrants, and the undocumented in New England. I'm also a vital member of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport, contributing significantly to their Interfaith Social Justice initiatives. A life-changing trip to Nepal last year, inspired by the impactful CLECs, students, and teachers I encountered, has me eager to collaborate with the DB4N team. My particular focus will be empowering girls and young women in underserved areas of Nepal.
