Meet Melissa
- Occupational Therapist
- Comfortable with pets
I am a current student at the University of Southern California, about to pursue a degree in Occupational Therapy. I hope to specifically work in pediatric mental health. I have experience working with children from ages 2 to 18. I have utilized play therapy to aid in the development of toddlers at a community based clinic, been a mentor for 8th grade girls, a tutor/literacy teacher for elementary-aged kids, and a camp counselor for elementary school children. I love working with kids of all personalities and ages!
