Melissa began attending and participating in Ananda Portland activities and classes in 2007. She quickly discovered the joy and inspiration that began to grow in her life as a result. As a way of continuing to feed that experience, she interned as a teacher in Ananda’s Living Wisdom School (preK-grade6) where she is now the second grade teacher. In addition, she is one of the welcoming individuals who staff the Temple and Teaching Center in Beaverton.
