Melissa enjoyed working with the other beekeepers so much that she completed the intermediate beekeeping school in 2018 and has been assisting with the beekeeping courses whenever possible since then. In addition to her day job as a veterinary critical care specialist, she owns and manages Chubb E.

She studied animal science at Michigan State University and received her degree in veterinary medicine from Michigan State University. After graduation Melissa completed an a 1-year internship at University of Pennsylvania and a 3-year critical care residency at Michigan State University. She remains active in multiple beekeeping organizations, teaches honey bee education through SEMBA beekeeping school and speaks about her experiences as both a veterinarian & beekeeper.
