YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME ON:
I have a passion and drive for showcasing science in a way that makes it appealing to the general public - and people seem to like it! I love collaborating with others, sharing experiences and learning from each other so if that sounds like you we should get together.
Outside of work you can typically find me trying out new cocktails with my friends in my Australian backyard, roadtripping across Down Under with loved ones, and dreaming up new ideas to share... with the world!
I'm an Author, Speaker, Educator, Podcaster, Scientist, Dreamer, and one really curious human.
I'm not just ONE thing - and I like it that way.

[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..
