Would you like to talk about math and your student. I can be contacted by email at mellis@seattleschools.org. We can set up a meeting via Zoom or Teams.
I know these times are really strange, but want you to know I am thinking of you all and we will all get through this together. Feel free to reach out to me anytime on email or via text/call with any questions or needs. What interesting times we are living in! We sure will have something interesting to share with future generations!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the State of Washington, in addition to being a Certificated School Counselor. I have a B.A. from Amherst College in Classics and a Master’s degree from Seattle University in Mental Health and School Counseling. I used to teach Greek, Latin, History and Philosophy at Milton and Tabor academies in Massachusetts and was also a professional classical musician for many years. Before coming to schools, I was a mental health and behavior therapist for Seattle Children’s Home and Navos, as well as in private practice. On a personal note, I have one daughter and three step-sons, and I love music, surfing, sailing, hiking and SCUBA diving!
I look forward to supporting your children and the TOPS community!
