Melissa, a secretary at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has turned a 20-year dream into reality thanks to Melwood. Melissa uses a cane and scooter to navigate her daily life and has found a fulfilling job through Melwood Enterprises’ administrative services that empowers her and supports her needs.
Melissa is passionate about making Goddard more accessible for everyone. “I try to make management aware of accessibility needs such as bathrooms, removal of snow from sidewalks and parking lots, and assistive technology for hearing and sight-impaired people,” she said. Goddard’s responsiveness has allowed her to focus on her work—ordering supplies, managing calendars, and onboarding new employees—all while helping her branch office run smoothly.
Melissa’s journey began with degrees in communications, but her path took her through managing her family’s business and customer service roles before finding her place in administration at Goddard. Looking forward, she dreams of working in communications for NASA, driven by her love of writing and public relations. “I am very thankful to Melwood and Goddard for giving me a job that offers good benefits and security,” she said.
