Melissa Hughes
Hi, I’m Melissa, your local mortgage expert.
I began my career with the credit union in 2002 and became a mortgage loan officer in 2021. I’m passionate about advocating for our members. The best part of my job is helping people in my community achieve their dream of homeownership. I’m known for my strong communication skills, and I strive to provide a smooth experience from prequalification to closing.
I was born and raised in Salem, Virginia, where I still reside with my husband and our dog, Macy. During the warmer months, you can often find me near the water or camping with family. I also enjoy cheering on my favorite NFL team throughout the season.
