Melissa weaves together faith, business acumen, and technological expertise in her ministry work. A devoted wife and mother of two daughters, she brings a rich background to her service in the Church.

After earning her BS in Business Management with a minor in Management Information Systems from the University of Delaware, Melissa spent 13 years at Fisher-Price where she completed her MBA while simultaneously serving as a volunteer catechist and raising her family.

When her corporate position was eliminated, Melissa embraced a new calling as Director of Faith Formation at Annunciation Parish. She deepened her theological foundation through a Certificate of Continuing Education in Theological Studies from Christ the King Seminary and a Certificate in Parish Catechetical Leadership from the Diocese of Buffalo. Currently, she is furthering her education with Franciscan University of Steubenville's Parish Catechetical Leadership program.

Melissa's passion lies at the intersection of technology and faith. When not serving the parish, she works as a Digital Marketing Analyst, helping local businesses expand their online presence—skills she enthusiastically brings to her ministry work.
