A Little More About Melissa

Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Melissa graduated from Argyle Secondary School and earned her Arts and Sciences Diploma in Media Resources from Capilano University. She also studied American Sign Language at Ohlone College and Religious Studies at Liberty University.

She loves reading, writing, playing video games, being creative, and making people laugh. She also enjoys reading about cooking, apparently more than the actual cooking part. Ice cream and chocolate are favorites too, but only the good stuff. Not that grocery store junk.
