    About Melissa

    I started my career at Local Wisdom as a website curator for jnj.com. I have since taken on the permanent role as a Front-end Developer - this includes HTML, CSS, jQuery and Wordpress theme development. When I am not working you can find me outside with nature; I love birding and am an avid nature and wildlife photographer.
