My name is Melissa, and I am an archer and writer. I coach and create in Ithaca, New York.
I am a USA Archery Level 3 coach and Level 2 instructor trainer in Ithaca, New York. I teach archery to motivated teens and adult learners. I am passionate about developing inclusive and welcoming archery instruction.
I also compete in Women’s Senior Barebow division. I have a background in traditional archery, but I can shoot and coach across disciplines, including Compound and Olympic recurve.
