Melissa is a Meisner-trained, bicoastal actor and production coordinator who has worked on and back stage, in front of and behind the camera, and is also a founder of a software company. She loves stories that challenge your initial perceptions and ask you to flex your compassion, and find so much joy if she can make you laugh for a few hours in a sitcom or a theatrical farce.
When not working, she can be found reading, walking her dog on the beach (yes, that does include NYC beaches, because you can take the girl out of California....), and obsessively talking about her niblings.
