Melissa Lombardo

Melissa Lombardo is a well-traveled Connecticut native who lived in Central America for two decades.  She is a Bilingual Certified Sexual Assault Crisis Advocate and knows first-hand the silence surrounding the topic of sexual violence. It was through the support of friends and family that she navigated the path of vulnerability to begin speaking out and supporting the healing of those who have faced their own trauma. She now advocates for others as they begin to heal and thrive and become the best version of themselves. As a naturally inquisitive person, Melissa credits her love of writing as a reason she was able to find her voice thrive beyond trauma.
