My name is Melissa Levis, and I grew up in Hudson County, New Jersey, where I began my 26-year career in public education. I hold a B.A. in Elementary Education, an M.A. in Educational Technology, and an ASLMS certification from New Jersey State University. As a School Library Media Specialist, I bring expertise in culturally responsive teaching, individualized instruction, and technology integration. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, engaging environment that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of reading.
