About:
My name is Melina! I graduated from Southeastern University with a degree in Psychology and Music, and I’m now pursuing my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at USF with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy!
I’ve played piano and guitar since childhood and studied voice through high school and college. Along the way, I performed in musical theater, competed in local and state-level music competitions, and now serve as a worship leader and vocal mentor at my church. I’ve also been blessed to teach children through youth ministry, mission trips, and camps where I created fun and encouraging spaces for them to explore and grow.
Outside of music, I love spending time with my family, being involved in my church, and finding joy in the little things in life. Teaching music lets me combine my passions for worship, performing, and mentoring while helping students discover their abilities and experience the joy that music brings!
