I’ve worked with Melissa for more than 10 years, and she’s consistently been a writer I can count on. She has an incredible work ethic and real hustle. She’s an excellent collaborator who is professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with. What I admire most about her, though, is her determination. The digital landscape is continually changing, and she has continued to grow and adapt right along with it. She brings real grit, resilience, and commitment to everything she does, and it’s been a pleasure working alongside her all these years.
