Melissa Winter

Compass Lead and Transition Coordinator

Melissa Winter

Melissa began her journey into Special Education in 2013 while working as a teaching assistant in a classroom for students with autism. At the time in school for Art Therapy, she quickly transitioned into teaching, as she'd realized she'd discovered her Calling.

Melissa arrived at Victory in 2014 as a teaching assistant and registered behavior technician, earning her teaching degree in 2016. In 2018 she moved, teaching in public schools in Texas and Washington, but returned in 2020, declaring that she missed her Victory Home too much to stay away.

Melissa has a grown daughter who composes and plays classical piano. When she isn't working, Melissa is wrapping up her Masters in Post-Secondary Transition Services, reading, playing board games, watercolor painting, or hiking.

Melissa is grateful for her Victory Family. She believes that every day is a great day; there is always something new to discover, share, and celebrate.
