Actress, avid reader, future entrepreneur who wishes to own a winery, production company and an animal rescue ranch hardly describes this fiery redhead’s passions and desires.

Melissa is highly focused on her acting career, and values the time spent learning from her acting coach, mentor and friend; actress Lar Park Lincoln. Melissa relishes everything about movie production because she loves the film industry.

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Melissa inherited her family’s zest for music, creole cuisine and LSU Tigers. After moving to Texas, Melissa’s fiery personality would bring delight to people. At 6 years old, she entertained with a song to random people in the street, mall or amusement park. Melissa also enjoyed a game she played with her dad called “strike-a-pose” where her dad would randomly say “strike-a-pose”, and whatever Melissa was doing she had to stop and pose like a model. This game would occur in restaurants, malls, school functions; anywhere. Although she is quiet when you first meet her, Melissa’s charm and confidence fills the room, especially on camera.

When Melissa is not in entertaining, she babysits mentors and reads to toddlers. She also loves spending time with her big sister and puppies. Melissa knows her entire family is the support system needed for her happiness and success.
