Melissa Price

Administrative & Accounting Coordinator

Melissa (aka Neicy) is a hard worker with an infectious smile. At HighRock, she works closely with our office manager to keep our administrative and accounting projects running smoothly. With experience in front end office support, office management, scheduling, case management, and accounting (not to mention five years as a Correctional Officer), Neicy was the perfect person to jump into this important position. Most recently, she worked Verstandig Broadcasting and The Law Office of Charles E. Ganley. When she’s not keeping things in line at HighRock, Neicy enjoys reading, watching reality TV, and spending time with her friends and family – which includes three children and her two amazingly athletic grandsons.
