My name is Melissa Panzarella and I am of mixed heritage with European/Italian, Afro-Caribbean origins and a few more. I love helping people and being active in the community by doing volunteer work in my free time. Some of my hobbies include reading, volleyball, painting, drawing, longbaording, drum playing and many more. I have 4 older siblings and two nephews and love spending time with my family and friends.

 I have over 12 years of experience working with children and adults who have intellectual and physical limitations or cognitive delays. I work with students, K-12, who have IEPs and 504 and have loved helping them reach their education goals with MCPS. I look forward to helping all who are looking for the extra support needed to reach their education goals!
