Melissa has over 15 years of experience as a pharmacy technician at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). She was most recently the Senior Attending Pharmacy Technician in the Oncology Clinical Trials Unit at MGH.

Melissa was instrumental in the design, outfitting, and final move of the clinical trials pharmacy at MGH. She was also responsible for technician training and assisting with interview and annual evaluations. Melissa was an active member of the Technician Review Board and, by using an electronic accountability system, tracked and helped provide feedback for issues and improvements in the pharmacy.

Melissa is currently finishing her Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Management degree at Southern New Hampshire University. She is a self-described “crazy dog lady” and is trying to improve her gardening skills through trial and error as well as watching HGTV.
