About Me
Melissa received her BS in neuroscience from Brigham Young University before receiving her medical degree from the University of Utah. She was part of the first class of medical students to be accepted into the pilot program “Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum” (EPAC), in which medical students and residents are advanced in a competency-based, rather than time-based, manner. During medical school, she was also inducted into the Gold Humanism and Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies. She completed her pediatric neurology residency at the University of Utah, where she quickly realized her interest in the field of pediatric autoimmune neurology. When she is not working, she enjoys cooking, baking, and spending time with her husband and children.
