Originally from Los Angeles, Mellisa made Jacksonville her home, earning a degree in public relations and communications with a minor in marketing from the University of North Florida. Over the years, she has watched the city evolve, finding joy in uncovering the rich history, distinct character, and vibrant people that give a place its soul. For Mellisa, great storytelling isn’t just about visibility—it’s about capturing a place’s essence, cultivating pride, and forging connections that extend beyond its borders. When she’s not helping clients bring their stories to life, you’ll find her exploring Jacksonville’s latest hotspots, discovering hidden gems, or making memories with family and friends.
