Growing up, the question “What do you want to do when you grow up?” was never easy to answer. Though never sure, Melissa was certain her future job would encompass the dynamics of teamwork, the rush of working under pressure, and the fulfillment of being able to work on any type of project. Having many passions: art, music, dance, fashion, photography, learning, business and more, made choosing a career path seem impossible.

That was until she discovered the fashion marketing program that brought together her love for art and business. Throughout her time in the program,  Melissa cultivated both creative and technical industry expertise, and nurtured her leadership and planning acumen, igniting a love for marketing. After obtaining her degree, Melissa completed internships, dipping her toes into the worlds of marketing and PR. She also lent her expertise to a myriad of marketing and fashion projects, collaborating with small businesses across Montreal.

While making her way into the marketing world, Melissa is also pursuing a further education, sculpting her professional path. On her own time, she enjoys surrounding herself with close ones, trying out new restaurants and attractions, and spending time with her dog.
