Bio
Shawn Miller
I am always grateful for working with people that shape my professional views, work hard, and are just amazing people to be around. Melissa is one of those individuals. One of Melissa's superpowers is being a problem solver - and doing it with a smile. I would say I "highly" recommend Melissa but that word seems too limiting. Whatever is above "highly" is how I describe working with Melissa. She. Is. Incredible.
