As such, her mission is to connect with any who relate to or care about abuse on any and all levels. Therefore, she goes out and trains and presents to victims, first responders, and perpetrators.
Over the years, her vast work with perpetrators of varied crimes has led her to see some of the gaps that are present in the system that affect the high recidivism rates in the prisons. Her goal is to address that recidivism rate by introducing here the THINK OUTSIDE THE GATE mindset which she incorporates in all her work with perpetrators of crime.
Mels expertise in this field comes from working with perpetrators upon their release, during their probation periods, and while they are still incarcerated and fulfilling their sentence inside of a State Prison Complex.
Today, Mel is a published author of nine books and working already on the next one. She is a highly-educated woman who is bilingual and holds a Bachelors Degree in English, a Masters degree in ESL, a second Masters degree in Special Education and Education, and a PhD ABD in Psychology.
Over the years, Mel has been nominated for various national awards for her work with victimization, her philanthropy, her teaching, and her writing. In the year of this publication (2017), she was featured in numerous magazines, media sources, and radio shows. She was also awarded the AZ Woman of the Year Beth McDonald Award, and the Triumph Over Tragedy Award by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.view less
