Inspired by her high school teacher, Melissa Stamm maintains a rubber duck collection in the classroom to remind her that “The performer is like the duck- calm and cool on the surface, but paddling like crazy underneath!” Melissa loves spending time with her husband and two children and can be seen walking around Centerville to go to the parks, library, or dinner.
