Melissa joined the Hinton community in April of 2017 when she married her husband Dr. Trey Thomason and is the front desk receptionist for Thomason Medical Clinic. She was born in Oklahoma City but grew up in the Dallas area. She attended Baylor University where she received her degree in Early Childhood Education. Before moving to Hinton, she spent 11 years working with elementary students and their teachers primarily in the Dallas area. Her focus was on inner city charter schools, teacher training and development, and English language learners. During her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and friends. She also loves cooking, the outdoors, and traveling. Melissa looks forward to working alongside her husband at Thomason Medical Clinic to serve the Hinton community and surrounding areas by providing exceptional patient care.
