Melissa moved to Michigan from her home state of Pennsylvania to attend college at Michigan State University, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Technology in 2012. Melissa’s love for pets is evident with her three dogs, Archie, Daisy and Bella as well as her cats, Crunk and Chuey. She exudes a calm, serene fort of caring that is a special benefit in dealing with animals – but don’t let Melissa’s quiet demeanor fool you. In her spare time she enjoys training with Traverse City Roller Derby’s charter team, the Toxic Cherries. In other words, she’s a “Bad Mamma Jamma”! (If you don’t know derby, that’s a bit of a pun, because the position Melissa most often plays is called a Jammer).
