Supervisor Quote

Melissa has excellent written and verbal communication skills. She never hesitated to ask questions and proactively reached out to others in the long-term care field to improve her insight into nursing homes and further develop her research into alternative models of nursing home care. In addition, Melissa was an active participant in CELJ meetings and meetings with CELJ partners. Melissa was a wonderful addition to the CELJ team!
