Melanie Lacina
Gaines,MI
Summary
My background is more diverse than my current work experience exhibits. I have also worked in the retail market as a sales associate and merchandising floor sets, albeit greater than 10 years ago. I took time to raise a family where I gained multitasking, organizational and planning skills as well as maintaining a household budget. I have sought and obtained a certification as a Zumba instructor, and I have also volunteered for the past 12 years for the Reid Elementary drama program in Grand Blanc, MI which is an exemplary program within the Grand Blanc school district. Both Zumba and volunteering for the drama program includes dance performance, recital planning, performance management and classroom instruction. I am passionate about instilling a love of dance in children, as well as techniques and strength for long-term benefits and enrich both students and the community in the arts.
