Kelly Brandewie, HR Consultant

Kelly has worked in human resources for over 6 years, having developed her career in talent acquisition and most recently serving as an HR Generalist. She is passionate about identifying the heart of an issue, finding creative solutions, and nurturing authenticity in any environment.

Kelly has built trusting relationships at all levels of an organization with her adaptive communication style, active listening skills, and commitment to furthering strategic goals without overlooking the individual. She has excelled at growing employee development programs, reviewing and refining policies and procedures, and providing managers with tools to perform at their best.

Kelly holds her SHRM-CP and is a member of the HRP of CPA, though you may also see her at events with other local SHRM chapters and professional organizations. She earned a B.A. at Dickinson College and an A.A. at Howard Community College in the James W. Rouse Scholars Program.

Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family, exploring outdoors with her dogs, and climbing at central Pennsylvania’s many boulder fields. 


Melissa Renninger, Sr. HR Consultant

Melissa has worked in Human Resources in corporate America for 18 years. She jokes with colleagues that if she could write a book about the experiences she has had, it would leave you in shock. She has seen it all.  

Melissa is also the owner of Painted Porch HR, where she creates a future of work where human resources is seen by employees and managers as a partner in helping them to be the best version of themselves.  She has been labeled by team members as not the typical HR.  She wears that statement as a badge of honor.  

Melissa currently lives in Red Lion PA with her husband and their four-legged kids (2 dogs, 1 cat). Her family is mostly located on the other side of the state and Illinois, of which she has 3 handsomely adorable nephews that make her heart full. She grew up playing soccer and loves any and all team sports. She still plays soccer to this day. Otherwise you can catch Melissa walking their dogs (Rook & Riley), gardening, watching too much HGTV or DIY videos, or working on the seemingly never-ending house projects.
