Melissa

I am a dedicated educator, mother, and mentor with a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and become confident in who they are. As a mother of four, I understand the importance of patience, encouragement, structure, and creating a safe environment for children. Professionally, I spent seven years as a middle school teacher, supporting students academically and personally during an important stage of development. I also served as a Youth Director for four years, where I planned activities, provided guidance, and built meaningful relationships with young people. Working with children has always been an important part of my life.
