Melany Gavulic was the CEO of Hurley and Mona’s boss during the Flint water crisis. A Flint native and former nurse, Melany was one of the few people who took Mona’s early research into the Flint water crisis seriously. From the beginning, Melany wanted to help be “part of the solution” rather than another bureaucrat standing between the children of Flint and environmental justice. Melany, like Mona, always prioritized advocacy and honesty in her personal and professional dealings.
