I believe individuals with disabilities should have every opportunity to attain the highest level of skills, purpose, and independence. I am proud and excited to be part of the Beautiful Lives Project where the existence of the community is based on a commitment to these goals.

Melissa is responsible for event coordination and partner relations for Beautiful Lives Project's New York Chapter. She is a native New Yorker and the proud daughter of a Chief Air Force Physician. Melissa has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing, importing, and design. She traveled extensively in her previous career, but now happily resides in CT with her husband and two children. When Melissa isn’t volunteering in her community, you can find her cooking for her large extended family, enjoying a good book, running, or just snuggling with Bo, the family pup!
