My Bio: Melissa L. Donaldson
I'm Melissa, a 35 year old single mom of 9 year old identical twin girls living in Upstate New York. I have been working in the legal field for many years, and am always looking to further my education. I spent about 6 years collectively working with the NYS Department of Health, assisting and preparing background reviews for employees of our states' nursing homes and adult care facilities. This gave me some insight into our criminal system and how it functions. I currently am employed with the NYS Office of the State Comptroller, under the New York State and Local Retirement System reviewing estate documents to assist with benefit administration.
