Hi my name is Melissa. I am from San jose, CA. I am a first year and am majoring in political science and minoring in digital filmmaking. My favorite class I've taken at SCU so far has been comparative politics with Dr. Morlang. A few fun facts about me is that I have directed and written a short film, I have a pug named Max, and over the summer I will be interning at San Jose government parks and recreation department. I am also involved in the film club. I am looking forward to meeting you all and share some fun memories!
