Outside of her media making endeavors, Melissa serves as founding member of the women’s philanthropic group The Leap Foundation, and also supports MASC, Multiracial Americans of Southern California and Life Rolls On.
Combining her video skills and love for writing, she currently writes social good features for the top social media blog Mashable and the do-gooder destination WhatGives!?
But her life isn’t all work and no play; you just may find her relaxing a local Los Angeles jazz club watching her friends improvise onstage. No matter what adventure comes next, she’s grateful they’re along for the ride.
