Ms. Mello is the new school psychologist at Jonathan Law.

She first attended Southern Connecticut State University for her Bachelors degree and then went to Fairfield University to get her psychology degree. 

When Mello is not in school, she takes care of her two nephews  During the summers she enjoys backpacking through the wilderness. 

“So far I have been to 25 countries,” said Mello. “I love learning about new cultures, people, and food.”

Before Law, Mello worked as a school psychologist at North Branford High School. She loves working with high school students. 

Throughout her first week at Law, Mello has been trying to meet as many students and teachers as she can because she hopes that if she builds a relationship with the students she can eventually help the students and staff. 

“I hope to be a great resource to students in supporting them to achieve their personal and academic goals. My biggest goal is to make a positive impact in the life of my students. That’s why I do what I do, and I love what I do,” Mello said.
