Melissa Stalker

Melissa Stalker is currently teaching grade 3 (8 year old children) at Tirana International School in Albania. As an international educator, she has taught elementary school for Quality Schools International in China, Bosnia, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. While in the United States, she taught special education at all age levels, working with children with many different special needs, including learning disabilities, autism, and behavior disorders.

Melissa was educated at the Pennsylvania State University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in International Politics and French. She completed a Master of Science degree at Bloomsburg University in the field of Special Education.
Most importantly, Melissa is a mother of 3 children. Ruby, Vera, and Jack all came to Melissa and her husband, Matt, through international adoption, which was a catalyst for moving overseas to teach in this amazingly diverse world. Exploring new places and spending time outdoors is what she enjoys doing on her free time.
