Melanie DeBoer

As you can see from Melanie's picture, she's pretty excited to be on Team Peacock! This is her sophomore season in many ways...her second year working in UIU's Athletic Department; second tour de RAGBRAI for Team Peacock; and second year getting to work with the great students that make their way to Fayette.

Melanie is a native of Brandon, Wisconsin, and graduated from Northwestern College (IA) in 2003. Since then, she's worked and lived in different cities across the Midwest. Her faithful companion has been her dog, Diddy (2), an excited Husky/Heeler mix, who always adds some flavor to the day.

A graduate of a small, private, liberal arts school in Iowa, Melanie is familiar with the financial burden that can accompany attending a private school. That's why she's so motivated to be pedaling across the great state of Iowa to raise money for student scholarships!
