Melissa joined the Lake Street Animal Hospital family in the summer of 2016. She went to COD to become a certified Vet Assistant in 2013. She has a dog (Chihuahua/Dachsund X) and a hamster.

She is the youngest of 4 and in her free time she likes to hang out with friends and listen to music. She is shy at first, but once you get to know her she won't stop talking. She is witty, down to earth and kind.
