text: Meleah is from Lee’s Summit, and is currently attending the University of Central Missouri with a plan to graduate May 2020! She studies psychology with a minor in child development, and plans to work with children in mental and behavioral health. Meleah became a part of our team in April of 2018. Her favorite part of working at Xtreme is connecting and bonding with her athletes, creating a fun environment for them to learn in, and teaching them not only gymnastics skills but also life skills to further their development. The core values she associates with most are continuous improvement, and creating a fun and positive environment for athletes and parents. Her hobbies include spending time with family and friends working out, swimming, volleyball, painting, and rescuing animals. Her plan for the future is to use her psychology degree to help children with mental and behavioral difficulties through counseling with the incorporation of therapy animals.
