Most recently seen as Diane/Others in Come From Away with Virginia Stage Company.
As a Puerto Rican performing artist based in Virginia, Melissa's work moves between theatre, live music, cabaret, and original music. She's not just a storyteller, but also an innovator - having crafted original theatrical roles and concert experiences. Audiences don't just sit, listen, and watch her - she inspires them.
