Melissa Forges

Higher Education Program Manager

As an educator, it brings me great joy to be the Higher Education Program Manager at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Education Department where I get the opportunity to be a part of educational journeys, career pursuits, and overall student success.  While a first generation student at the University of Florida, I had the privilege of multiple people and programs that were dedicated to my persistence to graduate and it was then, that it became my passion to make a difference helping others achieve and succeed in the same way I had been invested in.  I obtained my Master’s degree at Nova Southeastern University so I could do just that as a career!  My experience has spanned 17 years in education from teaching at Miramar High School to working at Florida State University’s Career Center and now excitedly, with the Tribe!

Hobbies: Family Time, the Beach, Reality TV Shows, DIY Projects.
