Hi! I’m Melita, wife of Steve, accountant at Woodland, and manager of all things chaotic and beautiful in our home with eight kids. Books and beautiful literature have been my lifelong companions. When I’m not homeschooling or turning out masses of food for each meal, or folding piles of laundry, you’ll find me tucked away with a cup of coffee traveling the world vicariously through the characters on the pages of whatever book I might be reading.
Steve and I love traveling with our kids in our renovated and “modified-for-us” 25-year-old RV. Our goal is to make it to Alaska with it one day! We enjoy camping, hiking the trails in Northeast Ohio, and spending quality time with each other and our family. Occasionally, we will pull out our violin and guitar, and try to give it a go with our rusty instrument skills. Praise and worship is important to us, and to God be the glory!
I work part time at Woodland Deck Company, and I call that my “day off”. After I completed my degrees at The University of Akron in Computer Drafting Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology, I worked at The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for 5 years. Having our first baby brought my heart from the workplace to home and from that point on, I worked part time with Steve at Woodland. I love being around the people at Woodland. Every person’s story is amazing to me, and I love hearing about their lives and families. They truly are a blessing to me, and I’m so thankful for all of them.
