Hi, I'm Melanie Reiss! I am a full-time commuter student at Southern Connecticut State University. I am majoring in communication disorders to become a speech pathologist. Previously, I worked at a special education summer school for three summers (2012, 2013, 2014). But this past summer, I worked at the West Haven Community House summer camp program and worked with mostly children ages 5-9. Besides these camps, I have babysat for multiple families ages ranging from 14 months-12 years old! I love spending my time with children, and with my major I plan on doing it my whole life!
