She then went on to do an equine internship at The Equine Clinic at OakenCroft. Melissa moved to New Zealand in 2017 and is thoroughly enjoying being a Kiwi.

She also received post-graduate certification in equine acupuncture through Curacore and is currently working on her performance medicine and rehabilitation certification. Her favourite part of her job is working together with horses and the people that love them to make a difference in their lives.
