After seeing a performance of "Cats" on Broadway, she announced to her parents that she wanted to pursue acting professionally. They have never been anything but supportive of this decision. After high school, Melissa earned a B.A. in Theatre from The University of California, San Diego. Melissa has studied with, among others, Amy Lyndon, Elaine Clark and Navid Negahban.
