Melissa was born in Lexington, Kentucky, but as an Army Brat, lived all over the world. Her father was a social worker in the Army for over 20 years. Her mother was a medic in the Women's Army Corp, and her parents met while both were stationed in Germany in the late 1970's. After finishing graduate school, her father reenlisted and the traveling began. Having lived in South Korea, Germany, and various states in the United States, she resides now in San Antonio, Texas. She began acting on stage early, and she went on to earn a BA and a MA in theater. While Melissa enjoys live theater, she really loves working on film. So far, most of her work on film has been in action comedies, in which she did her own fighting and stunts, but she has branched out recently to include drama, suspense, and comedy. Melissa also writes both stage and screenplays, and she paints as well. Her hobbies include dancing, reading, and yoga. Melissa is an avid gym rat, and she loves working out.
