Melissa’s passion for animals started 10 years ago when she moved to Florida from New York and began volunteering at a local animal shelter. Shortly after, she went to school to become a veterinary technician and became a full-time employee at the shelter. She then started at Regency in January 2020. She enjoys cooking and baking in her spare time and spending time with her husband and children and her 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 parrots, and a snake.
