Hi, I'm Melissa Dolloff! This is my first year teaching at AAA, although I have been working with students in some capacity for the past 20 years. My husband and I moved to Utah 11 years ago when I was offered to direct a college program in Salt Lake. Shortly after, we began starting a family and I switched roles to a Preschool Director! I have my Master's Degree in Intercultural Studies and completed my practicum in Jinja, Uganda (my second trip there working alongside 3 different orphanages). I have visited over 20 different countries in Europe, Africa, and South America, allowing for the privilege of working with various ethnic, age, and lifestyle groups through community outreach activities. 

In my free time I love traveling with my kids, working on various DIY house projects, and visiting every coffee shop we can find. Both my kids attend AAA and absolutely love it here! Working with kids is such a privilege and I can't wait to see them become equally excited in discovering all the creative ways we can use movement to get healthy!
