In high school she loved cooking and baking, which enhanced her to volunteer to help teach healthy cooking classes at the clinic. This passion led her to culinary school and working at fine dining restaurants in San Francisco and Boston. Melissa stated she missed teaching cooking classes and being able to help others improve their health, so she decided to go back to school to become a Registered Dietitian. While there she taught healthy cooking and nutrition classes at the local food bank. She loved being able to teach others how to make delicious meals that were healthy and inexpensive. Melissa fell in love with medicine during her nutrition internship at Duke University Hospital, she then knew she wanted to become a physician assistant to be able to help her patients even more. To gain experience in medicine before applying to PA school, Melissa worked as a paramedic on an ambulance for the 911 system in Orange County and Durham County. Although she loved working in emergency medicine, she knew when she graduated from PA school that she wanted to work in a clinic that was dedicated to helping the community. She completed a rotation at Person Family Medical Center during PA school and knew it was the perfect place for her.
