Melissa: Clay tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Cuyahoga Community College's Veterinary Technology program in 2013, passed the VTNE, and became an RVT in Ohio that summer. I earned my B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in December 2024, where I joined the Golden Key Honor Society and Mortar Board and received awards in Chemistry and from the College of Arts & Sciences. In 2016, I earned my Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG) certification from AALAS. I've worked at CWRU's Animal Resource Center since 2013, helping with animal care, enrichment, and surgical procedures in many species, and leading hands-on and classroom training for researchers and staff. I'm passionate about veterinary technology and love helping students turn challenging topics like terminology and drug calculations into strengths that build their confidence and success.
