Melissa Aparicio-Domingo
Melissa Aparicio-Domingo is proudly serving as the current Area 7 President and Vice President of Hospitality. With 3 years in the DECA, she has qualified for SCDC every year and continues to thrive in a community that has shaped her passion for leadership. Her time as a state officer has been an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing her to grow both personally and professionally. When she’s not engaging in leadership initiatives, she enjoys scrapbooking, baking—a skill passed down from her older sister—and playing the violin, which she has mastered over seven years.
