Over the past three years at Berg Performance, Melanie Hickey has
established herself as a highly accomplished technician apprentice with a reputation for precision, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn. From engine
diagnostics to complex maintenance and repairs, she’s become a trusted hand in the shop, always ready to jump into a project or assist a senior technician.

Her automotive journey began with a 2013 Dodge Ram, a far stretch from the Porsches and Audis that now fill her workspace, but it sparked a lasting passion for mechanical work and performance vehicles. Determined to learn by doing, she pursued an automotive education instead of a remote college experience during the pandemic, proving to herself and others that she was built for this trade.

After an early start as a lube tech at Honda, Melanie found her home at Berg Performance. A late-night email to owner Aaron Marshall turned into an opportunity that’s shaped her career ever since. Today, she’s an integral part of the team, contributing to the shop’s high-performance culture while continuing to expand her expertise every day.

Now behind the wheel of a red Audi TT, alongside her first love, that trusty Ram, Melanie brings both skill and enthusiasm to every job. Her growth, dedication, and attention to detail make her one of Berg
Performance’s most promising rising technicians.
