edit data

Melanie Murphy is a resident of Massapequa Park, a great community located in Long Island. She is a mother of two amazing boys and a high school English teacher. When she isn’t teaching, she can be found with her nose in a good book, cheering on her boys at a little league game, or with her toes in the sand at the local beach (in the summers of course).
