She is a co-owner of Triumph Incorporated and a truly remarkable individual. Ann has transformed the lives of many in her community, family and friends through her work with Triumph, an organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities reach their full potential. She consistently exceeds expectations in her role, making a difference in the lives of those she serves.”
Melissa Burdick
Melissa Burdick is Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s first SHERO award recipient. The single mom of four received the honor on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. Burdick’s sister, Kristin Brehm, nominated her.
“My sister is a single mom to four children – Lylah, Harlee, Harper and Logan. The youngest and only son was born after my brother-in-law passed away from cancer. She has continued to do anything and everything to make sure her children and family are happy and healthy. Through all this, Taco Bell promoted her to general manager. My sister continues to give life everything she’s got, no matter what hand she is dealt. She is consistently helping friends, family and employees to be their best person.”
