Melineh  loves what she is doing every day. With a master's degree in education and over two decades of teaching college students, and children, she believes the path to success starts at a very young age.  When she had her own children, she became even more passionate about finding the secret of having happy and confident children who are capable of making the right decisions for themselves in their adulthood. This endeavor led the path to study HR management at UCLA to embed some management skills and my teaching experience. Later, she founded Tinker Club to fill the gap and empower children with logical thinking and the art of teamwork in a project-based setting where they create, build, and work with their teams to solve problems. Being an educator and a mother, she believes successful people are those who stand up when they fail and even lift others when things do not work as they expected.
