Melinda Walsh

Melinda Hall serves as a Service Coordinator for a fire and security company in Louisville, Kentucky. In her role, she manages the scheduling of technicians who perform fire alarm inspections, sprinkler inspections, backflow testing, and hydrant services throughout the community. Hall brings about 20 years of experience in the field to her position, which she has held for five weeks at her current company. Prior to entering the industry, she attended cosmetology school after high school and worked as a hairdresser for 17 years until an injury left her temporarily paralyzed. Through determination, she regained the use of her arm and chose not to pursue disability, instead building a new career path. Hall attributes her success to her stubbornness, hard-headed determination, and faith in God. She values respect, humility, transparency, honesty, and trust above all, and advises young women entering the male-dominant field to hold their own, avoid taking things personally, stay true to themselves, and not compromise their values.
