Melanie Siegel, Owner
I have had a lifelong love of language and the brain, and my goal at Lingo is to share that passion with others. I hope to be a source of information, guidance, and strategic intervention for anyone wanting to enhance their communication skills, literacy, and overall brain health.
My work is an extension of my personal beliefs and life. My husband, two children (ages 20 and 16), and I have healthy and active lifestyles; we also do our best to stay socially connected and involved in our community.
I believe in reaching out and embracing life outside of my comfort bubble, and I encourage those around me to do the same. Let’s share our stories.
