Melissa Richards

Assistant, Meadow Infant Community

Melissa Richards joins the pdxMC Meadow community having worked with children off and on since 2011. Melissa studied political science at Portland State University and is a 2014 alumna of the Center for Women’s Leadership program New Leadership Oregon. She likes to joke that with her background in politics and childcare she isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty! Like many Oregonians, Melissa enjoys spending time outdoors. She also likes to make crafts. Melissa and her partner, Kienan, are expecting their first child in December.
