Melissa is a multifaceted creative individual, boasting a triple threat of talents - writing, acting, and an unwavering aversion to writing bios in the third person, a sentiment she concedes to as a necessary evil.
Her professional journey has been marked by significant milestones, commencing with her tenure as a writer on Netflix's "Santa Clarita Diet" for two consecutive seasons. Prior to this, she contributed to the writing team of "Maya & Marty," the NBC variety sketch show featuring Maya Rudolph and Martin Short, which garnered her a WGA Award nomination.
In recent times, Melissa has lent her writing expertise to the upcoming TBS animated series "Close Enough." Furthermore, she has taken on the roles of executive producer, writer, and star in pilots for NBC's "Wolfgirl" and TruTV's "Small Victories," as well as co-writing a pilot for TBS's "Basic."
Melissa's impressive repertoire also includes the creation and starring role in the highly acclaimed web series "Adult Wednesday Addams," which amassed over 20 million views and garnered widespread acclaim from esteemed publications such as the LA Times, AV Club, Bloody Disgusting, and People Magazine, among others.
Melissa's professional trajectory began in the realm of live comedy, where she honed her skills as a writer and performer at the Upright Citizens' Brigade, specifically on the Maude (sketch) teams Eastwood and Karate Karate.
