Presley Meloche
Presley Meloche is a 20-year-old university student pursuing a degree in psychology with a minor in biology. With a lifelong love of animals and science, her goal is to become a veterinarian and dedicate her career to improving the health and well-being of animals.
An accomplished heptathlete, Presley earned a Division I track-and-field scholarship through years of dedication and perseverance. Her training Includes running, jumping, throwing and weightlifting, while yoga, pilates and hiking help her maintain balance and support her overall health. Competing across seven events has taught her resilience, adaptability and how to remain focused under pressure while balancing athletics and academics.
After suffering for years before finally being diagnosed with endometriosis, Presley became passionate about advocating for women’s health. Through her platform, she hopes to raise awareness of this whole-body chronic illness, encourage women to advocate for themselves and help ensure others do not suffer in silence or wait years for answers.
Presley’s commitment to service extends beyond her advocacy. She has volunteered with animals at her local veterinary hospital and supported her local food bank through food-collection initiatives. She believes that making a difference begins with compassion and a willingness to serve others. Her love of travel and exploring new places has also encouraged her to step outside her comfort zone, embrace new experiences and continually grow as a person.
Presley is the daughter of Crystal and Jeff and the younger sister of Alexis. Her family and friends keep her grounded and remind her of what matters most in life. Compassionate, ambitious and driven, Presley hopes to use her education, experiences and voice to make a meaningful difference.
