"Melissa showed me how writing connects me with my true self. I can’t emphasize enough the impact that working with her has had on my creativity and self-knowledge. The joy and liberation that accompanied our work together fostered and cemented this passion, and I may not be writing at all today without her, much less making it my life's work."

MFA in writing at Columbia University
