She completed her undergraduate degree, with a major in Psychology and a minor in German, at Mankato State University. Melody studied School Psychology, earning her Master of Arts in Education and Education Specialist Degrees from the University of Northern Iowa.  Melody’s interest in executive function skills was piqued in 2017 by a workshop led by Sarah Ward. Through additional learning, research, and trainings she learned how essential executive functioning skills are to productivity, success, and having a sense of accomplishment. It has become an area of great interest to add to her repertoire. Melody has found it very rewarding to help others with organization, time management, planning, and study skills. In the fall of 2020, Melody started her own business, Hime Time Educational Coaching & Support LLC to focus on providing executive function coaching to school-aged students and young adults.
