A short list of things Melissa is passionate about:
- All things History (yes, even that boring Netflix documentary) and plays that focus on making historical events feel relevant today;
- Language and its quirks: weird, forgotten expressions and accents that make eyebrows raise and interest peak;
- Poking fun at the world, herself and French people;
- Stylized and over-the-top plays that make you dive in a world of absurdity;
- Researching and playing around to create colorful characters;
- Immigration stories from all eras and countries, Melissa's family tree being one immigration story after another
