Melania Picks Her Chief of Staff

Melania Trump is getting to her new responsibilities as FLOTUS.

Although we’ve only seen the former model a handful of times, and even less after Donald Trump was elected, the 46-year-old is said to be taking her role “very seriously.”

On Wednesday, the mother of Barron Trump appointed Lindsay Reynolds as Chief of Staff to the First Lady and Assistant to the President, according to a press release.

Melania’s right-hand woman — who has worked in D.C. for 14 years and served as associate director of the White House Visitor’s Office during the George W. Bush administration — said of her new position:

“I look forward to the opportunity to serve as the First Lady’s Chief of Staff. The First Lady is thoughtfully selecting her team, establishing the Office of the First Lady and supporting her husband President Trump.”

The Slovenia native went on to explain her process for organizing her staff:

“It has been an honor to take on the responsibility of the position of First Lady, with its long history as an important representative of the President, our family, and the traditions of our nation around the world. I am putting together a professional and highly-experienced team which will take time to do properly. I am excited to be organizing and bringing together such a dynamic and forward thinking group of individuals who will work together to make our country better for everyone.”
