I’m Melissa: an adventure-seeking, story-telling, internet-loving, news junkie. I work in Seattle.
I’m a content marketer who writes about the convergence of technology, open data, and government.
Prior to joining Seattle’s tech scene, I was the research director at the Puget Sound Business Journal in Seattle, where I used data to tell stories about the people, businesses, and industries driving the economy. I even had a stint as a city hall reporter in Texas. (yeehaw!)
When I’m not reporting, I enjoy riding single track, volunteering with the Tibetan Nuns Project (which provides education and humanitarian aid to refugee nuns from Tibet), and catching up on the news.
