Melissa grew up in Northern Pennsylvania in a little town called Towanda.  After graduating from Baptist Bible College, now Clarks Summit University, she moved to Tacoma Washington where she taught several different grades including Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First, Second, and Fourth Grades; as well as Library and computer classes.  While living in Tacoma she met and married her husband Tim. They have two children JT and Chloe.  JT is in sixth grade at Faith and Chloe is in a special class at Williams Township Elementary.  In 2020, they moved to Pen Argyl, PA and began attending Faith Alive Community Church.

In her free time Melissa enjoys reading Christian fiction books especially Christian mystery books. She enjoys doing crafts as well as crocheting and knitting.  Her favorite thing to do is spend time laughing and playing games with her family. She would like to inspire students at FCS to have fun and show love to those around them while glorifying God in all they do each day.

Melissa has 18 years of experience in education and believes, Christian education is important as it sets students up for success in their future.  With a foundation grounded in God’s word, students can excel spiritually, emotionally, and academically in school.
