About Melissa

I'm originally from New Jersey. I have been in Florida for a little over 12 years now. My husband and I absolutely love Florida and found the Oviedo area to be a perfect place to raise our daughter. I graduated in August 2019 with my bachelors in Public Administration. I am still trying to figure out how I want to apply that bachelor's into a career that works for me. In the mean time, I enjoy working with seniors and assisting them and their families anyway I can.
