About Melissa

Hello! My name is Lissa! I'm a film student from Seattle and went to college in Oregon! I have taken 2 years of French and ASL and continue to learn both. I am 21 years old looking to move to Portland to transfer to a true film focused school and further my film career while also meeting new people in a new place! (This would be in Sept.!) I have worked with kids on and off for about 4 years now. Past jobs included being a reading tutor for young ones, a camp counselor, a dance teacher, babysitter and taking care of kids over night while the parents were away! I'd describe my personality as funny, bubbly and curious. Some hobbies of mine are film making/screen writing when I can as well as drawing, reading, any arts and crafts, writing poetry and walks with podcasts. One thing you should know about me is I grew up the youngest of 3 siblings. With this, I feel I bring a lot of empathy towards working with kids as I know the importance of being included, played with and fair treatment.
