Happy New Year everyone! I hope this New Year is filled with many new opportunities and adventures!
I just got back from the lovely Cuba and am ready to hit the ground running! Cuba was so inspiring, filled with beautiful bright colours, incredible beaches and many local artists.
I also have some exciting news… I have been cast in an upcoming national commercial! Also, some projects that I was part of last year should be released soon! Stay tuned for this and more.
Lets make this year the best yet!

Last week I had the opportunity to work another red carpet event for The Idea Hunter. It’s always such a blast to work with such amazing actors, interact with people on the carpet and enjoy the glam of the night.
You may also recognize my face on Cityline again soon, as recently I got to appear as an elf! So much fun spreading the holiday cheer! Christmas is just around the corner, have you started decorating yet?
I also had some fun shooting with KVDV Photography recently… more photos to come but here is a sneak peak!
Cheers,
Melissa
For anyone who missed Cityline today, here is a link with my hand modelling skills:
It was so much fun and of course my nails looked amazing!
Also, here are some photos from my character on set recently. Project confidential, but details will be released soon I promise! In the meantime going to rise and grind, since there are many auditions coming up on the horizon!
Cheers,

It’s that time of year when we bring out the hoodies, start apple picking and sipping on Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Before the summer shorts get packed up, and the boots get laced up, I just want to say how grateful I am for a busy end to the summer. You may have seen on social media that I was recently in London, ON working on the Canadian Country Music Association Awards. You may have also seen my face again this year (enjoying some #breakfastbeer bottom right)…
Or my name…
From Country Music to Hockey, I then got to work with an amazing supportive team at World Cup of Hockey Fan Village! What a great way to end the summer! I can’t wait to see what will happen next with this crisp autumn weather, as auditions are already starting to roll in. Stay tuned here, or follow me on Instagram, twitter and Facebook. Links on my contact page!
Cheers, Melissa
Jenna: Look at this. [reads from magazine] “Thirty and flirty and thriving. Why the thirties are the best years of your life.” I wanna be thirty.
Mom: [chuckles] Well, you will be, honey.

These past 29 years have gone by so fast, and now 30 is here. I am so grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had, the adventures I’ve experienced and the journey that I’m on. I cant wait to see what 30 has in store! I’m ready to enjoy being thirty, flirty and thriving!

Happy Throwback Thursday to the time I got to appear on Daytime Television to promote the play “The Sunshine Boys”! It was so much fun being interviewed at Rogers TV, and advertising for local community theatre.
So far it’s been a busy season filled with lots of auditions and callbacks, and it’s just about to get busier! Summer is as hot as ever and festivals are everywhere! I hope you’ve had a chance to check out some local artists lately. I did this past weekend at ‘Taste of the Danforth’ in Toronto. And I definitely took the opportunity to enjoy one of my favorite activities – eating!
For the upcoming weekend, here are some inspirational words…
“Just because Fate doesn’t deal you the right cards, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.” – Les Brown
