She was awarded an M.B.A. in project management from UCLA. She has undertaken numerous volunteer commitments in the classroom, in school-related parent organizations, at PHP and also with NCBIDA. Upon completing a professional interlude as an educational advocate for school-struggling children of the juvenile court system, Melissa joined our Board a year ago as co-chair of the Scholarship Committee.

She is co-founder of Quantum Leap, a summer program that teaches study and organizational skills, reading comprehension, writing, and Latin and Greek roots to middle school students in San Francisco.
