Melissa began her service with Siffrin as Operations Manager at the

Mahoning Bridge and waspromoted to Director of Day Services in 2024.

Melissa comes to Siffrin with twenty years dedicated to operational

excellence in the service field. Her passion for positive leadership began

early in life as student body president at Kent State University and has

only grown as she continued as a business owner, multi-unit manager,

and into her most recent service with Northeast Ohio Correctional Center.

Melissa attributes her success in leadership in great part to being raised in the

farming town of Southington, Ohio where work ethic and family values were a

strong influence and passed down through each generation. Melissa continues this tradition on the family farm with her father today.
