Melissa went to Columbia University in NYC for her Undergraduate degree... but she was way more excited about night clubs than she was about studying!

She used to be "goth", wearing super white makeup, bright red lipstick, and a black headscarf every day

Her favorite restaurant is whatever is the most trendy- the harder to get in, the more she loves it!

She has worked as a fashion and beauty editor for publications such as: Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, the New York Times, and Marie Claire
