Melissa was a graduate of Cranston High School West and then went onto attend Roger Williams University, her passion for reading and writing led her to explore a career in journalism.

Besides children, she had a soft spot for all animals, especially dogs. Melissa loved spending time at the beach reading.  Melissa especially enjoyed watching Hallmark Christmas movies, no matter the time of year.
