Get to know me! • Melissa
Hi, I’m Melissa. I was born in Santa Cruz, CA but moved around quite a bit growing up! We lived in Tucson, AZ then Scottsdale, AZ then my parents decided to move back to the East Coast to Leominster, MA till we finally made our way home to Southern California. I actually didn’t mind moving when I was younger and I’m grateful I got to experience different cultures and ways of living.
My mom came to the states from Peru when she was 15 years old and my dad was born in Puerto Rico and came to the mainland when he was around 10. My dad fell in love with my mom through a picture before even meeting her and are still together to this day (46 years later!). They are my biggest role models on love! Growing up Latina with Latino values really influenced me and I’m trying to pass those values along to my kids
I’m excited to share even more about myself and learn more about you too! I actually always love reading people’s q + a’s since it allows me to get to know them better. Getting to know someone on a deeper level rather than keeping it superficial is really important to me!! I love meeting new people and getting to know them but can be really awkward in big group settings since I’m an introvert.
Q + A Time!
Here are some basic q + a:
Name: My name is Melissa
Where I live: I live on Kauai, HI
Favorite food: My favorite food is Mexican and pizza!!
Pets: no pets
Morning or night: by mid morning I feel like I’m in a groove but I’m most creative and inspired at night!

Let’s get a little deeper!
Now it’s time to get a little deeper. These were fun to answer!!

When were you the happiest: when randon (my husband) and I did a cross country road trip in 2015. Adventure + my bestie = happiest me!!
What do you value the most in friendship: I value sincere care and genuine interest in me! When someone goes out of their way to show they care and value me, that means so much to me!
Celebrity BFF wishlist: Do insta “celebrities” count?!?! Well for me they do!
•Mimi Ikonn—she’s so positive! They way she lives her life is so inspiring. Her relationship with her husband and daughter is beautiful and I love her story of making her dreams come true through hard work and perseverance.
•Morgan Harper Nichols—quotes and words really hit me. Morgan has such a way with words that makes me feel she’s going though everything I’m going through. Plus her artwork is beautiful too. Her faith is inspiring!
•Amber Fillerup Clark—I admire her commitment to her family and pursuing her passions! I love seeing her family activities and her style and home decor! She has 2 successful businesses yet still prioritizes family! I love that.
Chosen super power—eliminate single use plastic and harmful toxics from food and health/beauty products!! Haha…I’m such a nerd but it’s true, I would love to have a fully sustainable Earth!!
I’m really great at—helping people. I love to give, serve and be there for people!! If I can do anything to make your life easier and make you feel loved, I try to do it!!
In the morning—I make lists of what i want to accomplish that day. I typically think I’m going to be able to do much more than what I actually get done which leaves me feeling like I’m constantly trying to catch up! I love making to-do lists and having a planner!!!
Excited for this journey !
You made it to the end! Thanks so much for taking time to learn more about me! I promise to always keep it real and be me!! I’m so exited for this journey and couldn’t be happier to do it with one of the best women I know, Kari!
have a beautiful day, beautiful friends!
