melissa was born + raised in nj (usa). aside from marketing, she competes, trains + grooms horses in three-day eventing, and is a professional exercise rider for thoroughbred racehorses. her other (other) burning passion is music, in all forms. she loves to travel + experience cultures + is always keeping an eye out for some fresh photo ops. some of her most appreciated places include soaking up the sun in the warm sand by the soothing ocean + breathing in moments of clarity on top of a mountain before carving down on her snowboard. she’s insistent on moving to italy one day.

once i realized that marketing can never really be mastered, the challenge hooked me + i’ve been submerged in its vast ocean of possibilities + changes ever since. the endless qualities of marketing fascinate me + keep me captivated. i’m on a quest to explore every nook + cranny it owns, especially the ones that don’t exist yet.

what moves me, in particular, is how such deep + impactful connections are made because of it. how, with the interaction with + influence of a brand, individuals can learn about themselves, their identity, their purpose. they connect with the energy + meaning of existence for a brand, + in that way, the world is unified a little bit more. individuals living on different parts of the globe discover commonalities + build community + experiences.

that very philosophy is what i intend to explore, investigate + innovate. that’s what i want to help you project to the world.
