About me

Hey there! My name is Melissa (she/her/hers), and I'm a marketing ​writer at BILL, where I craft customer video narratives, write social ​copy, and much more.


Before joining BILL, I was a staff writer covering health, wellness, ​money, and career through the lenses of identity and social justice ​for Mic's Life vertical. I've also contributed to Discover, The Cut, ​VICE, and the Los Angeles Times, among other outlets.


In a past life, I researched aggressive brain tumors at the University ​of California, San Francisco and earned a BA in molecular and cell ​biology from the University of California, Berkeley. As a lab rat-​turned-writer, I have a knack for distilling complex ideas into clear, ​compelling stories and a penchant for data-driven writing.

​

I hold an MA in communications from the Stanford Graduate School ​of Journalism. I'm a Writers Grotto member and a Tin House Summer ​Workshop 2020 alumna, and I'm at work on a memoir.
