Melissa is an MFA trained Actor who was born in Puerto Rico, and raised in Orlando, FL. She's a CSA, "Mi Gente!" finalist and conversational in Spanish (it's her second language) with a native accent. She has a strong Theatre background and recently moved to LA to explore opportunities in Film, Television and Commercials. She's bubbly, she's quirky, she's got a bright distinct voice, great comedy chops and an expressive face. Like if Mary Louse Parker & Joan Cusack had a baby who sounded like Leslie Mann.
