Melissa is the Executive Director and co-founder of the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders, an international nonprofit public charity and patient advocacy group focused on empowering families and funding groundbreaking research on peroxisomal disorders.

Melissa is a graduate of the School of Saint Mary, Bishop Kelley High School and the University of Tulsa, she taught 3rd and 4th grade in Union Public Schools for 5 years before becoming a stay-at-home mother to her first child, Ginny (born in 2008). After a nearly 2- year diagnostic odyssey, her daughter, Ginny, was diagnosed with a peroxisomal disorder. Feeling a huge sense of isolation, she set out to find other parents on a similar journey. Her desire to raise funds for research, connect and support families, and promote awareness of peroxisomal disorders led to the formation of the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders (GFPD) in October of 2010.

Bryce considers her greatest vocation and blessing in life to be a mother to her three children, Ginny (deceased in 2015), Jack, and Avery. She enjoys playing golf, tennis, riding bikes and playing outside and swimming with Jack and Avery.
