Employee Spotlight
Melissa Adams
The WSSB Spotlight shines on Melissa Adams, who serves learners in the Spokane area. Although Melissa is new to us this year, she brings with her a wealth of knowledge, experience, and dedication. Living in Idaho and traveling to Spokane, she provides TBLVL and O&M services to multiple districts across the region, a commitment that speaks volumes about her heart for this work. Melissa has stepped in to support the 3 other WSSB teachers in the Spokane area by organizing weekly team meetings to stay connected, collaborate, and bridge gaps. Her initiative and leadership are strengthening services for students and fostering a strong sense of teamwork.
We're so grateful to have Melissa as part of the Outreach team. Thank you, Melissa, for all you do for your learners, their families, and WSSB. We are so glad you’re here.
