MeLisa DeSilva has been with Great Hearts since 2017 and is excited to join the Anthem Eagles family after formerly serving as Office Manager for North Phoenix Prep. Originally hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, she moved to the Phoenix area as a child and grew up in the Valley of the Sun. Her eclectic business background includes working in the trucking industry, directing a performing arts center, and many years as an early childhood professional, both as a teacher and an administrator. As a mother of a large blended family, MeLisa feels blessed to be able to partner with students and families on their educational journey with Great Hearts. MeLisa lives in the Anthem area, enjoys long walks with her unruly pitbull mix Lilah, bike riding, swimming, and eagerly accepts any dance off challenge.
