YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME ON:
I’m passionate about making science fun and accessible, and the best part? People seem to love it! I thrive on collaborating, swapping stories, and learning from others—so if that sounds like your vibe, let’s connect.
When I’m not in “science mode,” you’ll usually find me playing with my family in my Aussie backyard, trying new hobbies with amigas, road-tripping across Down Under with loved ones, or dreaming up fresh ideas to share with the world!
Author. Speaker. Educator. Podcaster. Scientist. Dreamer. And forever curious.
One label? Nah. I’m all the things I want to be.

[Melissa] knows that she was given [her] platform to do good with it. I think she wants to be the woman not only talks loudly into a megaphone so all can hear but one that walks the walk. . . . She’s making sure that she’s not going to disappoint, and not only make it about herself..
