Melissa

Melissa grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she developed a love for working with animals. While studying Engineering in college, a localized flood caused animals to be displaced and Melissa felt a draw to help. She began volunteering at the animal shelter where she realized that she wanted to dedicate her love for helping animals into a career. Melissa worked as a veterinary technician and became a RVT, registered veterinary technician, as a result of her years of experience supervised by a veterinarian.

In 2018, Melissa also followed her other passion in life and moved to Summit County in order to pursue her love of the outdoors. She is an avid mountain biker and hiker in the snowless months and loves to snowboard, rally snowmobiles, and skin up her split board when the powder is fresh.
