Ko ngā mahi o mua a Melissa Perkin ko ngā tūranga ture i roto i tētahi umanga ture, i te rōpū whakawā, i ngā kaiwhakahaere ture, me te mahi hei rōia. Nō nā tata nei, i ārahi ia i tētahi rōpū mema tūao e whakarato ana i te tautoko, te tautoko, ngā ratonga me te whakangungu mō te hapori ture, me te mahi tahi me ngā kaiwhakarato me ngā kaipupuri hea o waho. I ārahi a Melissa i ngā tīma; i tito rautaki hei whakatinana angitu i ngā hua me ngā ratonga auaha; i whakahaere i ngā huihuinga matua; ā, i ripoata ki ngā komiti tohunga, ngā poari me te Kaunihera whakahaere, ā, tae noa ki ēnei wā tata nei i mahi ia hei Kaiwhakahaere Matua i te Pokapū Whakatau Tautohe o Aotearoa i Takapuna, Tāmaki Makaurau.
