the Quietech Staff

 Melissa’s passion for technology blossomed early, starting with an interest in computers that led her to explore web programming by the age of 12. She turned her enthusiasm into action by launching her first computer business as a high school senior project, setting the foundation for a lifelong career in IT.

In 2013, Melissa became the owner of Quietech Associates, a company known for providing tailored technology solutions with a personal touch. Her mission is to empower individuals and small businesses, helping them navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape with confidence and ease.

Beyond her technical expertise, Melissa is deeply committed to fostering connections and building trust with her clients, many of whom are older adults new to technology. She takes pride in demystifying complex concepts and enabling her clients to embrace technology as a tool to enrich their lives.
