Market Street.

Melisa Glenn.
Glenn, a resident of Hot Springs, is a graduate of the
University of Arkansas at Little Rock and holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and Secondary Education. After learning about the atrocities of human trafficking and realizing the lack of education on what human trafficking is and the impact it has on the community, she began attending conferences and training to become an educator. Her focus is to provide awareness and knowledge for others like herself so that they can become a voice for the voiceless.
Glenn serves with Project HOPE as chair for the Human Trafficking Task Force of Garland County and is a Hot Springs representative of Partners Against Trafficking Humans out of Little Rock.
