Melissa, M.S. CFY-SLP, was born and raised in Rockland County, New York. She earned her Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. She started off with a career in fashion after double majoring in Business Marketing and Fashion Merchandising & Marketing. Later realizing something was missing, she began working with children in early intervention and quickly discovered how much she loved supporting their growth and communication. That experience inspired her to return to school and pursue speech-language pathology. Melissa is passionate about creating fun, individualized sessions that help each child grow and succeed. She’s a proud big sister (the oldest of four), a huge Disney fan, and loves anything fashion-related, especially cheetah print. On weekends, you’ll probably find her traveling, behind a camera, or searching for a good sale while shopping.
