Melissa got her CDA in early childhood development in 2020. She worked with children 6 weeks to 11 years old. However, she was the lead teacher in the 2 year old classroom. Melissa would create weekly lesson plans to create a fun learning experience for all of the children. Working with all the different ages, she excelled in treating every child as an individual and accommodating their individual needs. 4 years after leaving the daycare she knew wanted to work with children again, but in a way that she could fully accommodate each individual and fulfill their needs. That's when she decided to enter the ABA field. In her free time, Melissa's favorite activity is traveling and hiking.  Melissa also enjoys photography to capture the breathtaking views mother nature has to offer.  She has 2 dogs, an Australian Shepherd named Mavryck and an Australian shepherd/ mini poodle mix named Remi that go with her everywhere she wanders!
