Melissa Richman- Learning Center teacher

Ms. Melissa Richman

A little about me:

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have lived in Portland since 1995. After working as a paraeducator in PPS for five years, I began my full-time teaching career in special education. This is my 11th year teaching in PPS and 5 of those were spent at Woodmere as a communication behavior teacher.  I am very excited to be returning to Woodmere for my 3rd year as a learning center teacher and look forward to being part of such a great community again. 

Outside of teaching, I love spending time with and am passionate about my family!  When we are not teaching/learning in PPS you might find us on a bicycle tour, camping adventure, hiking, reading, involved in a family game and/or movie night, playing with our yellow lab Tabor, spending time with friends or planning for our next adventure.
