Megan Vesely
Social Media Manager
Megan joined our team in November 2023 and has been a great addition to our staff ever since. She is originally from Louisville, Ohio but has spent the last 5 years in Tiffin as she has studied for both her undergrad and graduate degrees at Heidelberg University. She loves all things that allow her to showcase her creativity, which has made marketing the perfect fit for her.
Production Manager
Our production manager is a survivor of domestic violence herself. To keep her safe we don't share any personal information about her.
She is the person in charge of overseeing our other survivors as they make the Hope's Landing products. She works hard to create new products, perfect the products we have, and set the standard for our products. Our production manager creates a positive and safe environment for our survivors to work in.
Production Assistants
Our Survivors
We employ survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence as our production assistants. They are the ones who actually make the products from hand pouring the candles to mixing together our scrubs. By working at Hope's Landing they are empowered by receiving fair pay, learning skills, working on themselves, and by having access to the resources and support they need. For safety reasons we don't share information about our production assistants.
