Hello! My name is Melissa and I have a plethora of experience working with children and families. I have worked with children in several different capacities. I am currently working as a 1:1 aide with a child on the Autism Spectrum within a classroom. In addition, I was a case manager for children and families with mental health issues in Northeast Philadelphia. Prior to that, I held two separate jobs as a Residential Treatment Facility with both male and female teenagers with mental health disabilities. Before that, I worked in a school as a 1:1 worker with a female with Autism. Currently, I am in my final year of graduate school at Arcadia University, studying for my Masters Degree in Counseling. I am also interning in a therapeutic nursery with children ages 2-6.
