I’m Melissa.
I grew up in Raleigh, NC. This summer, I’m working on a cross-examination study of Saturnian kilometric radio emissions observed by Cassini and Ulysses with Dr. Robert MacDowall.
I will graduate in a couple days with a BS in physics from Davidson College. Next year, I’ll be in Madaba, Jordan on a teaching fellowship for 1 year before heading to Colorado Boulder to study aerospace engineering.
Besides space physics, my passions include creative writing and slam poetry, water sports, hiking and peace efforts in Colombia. I enjoy learning about conservation issues and lived in an ecological co-op during college. I love discovering quirky details about other people. Something about me is I have a fascination with insects. My dad used to be an entomologist and we grew up breeding praying mantises, tarantulas, and other many-legged creatures.
I also love to play and listen to music, and I love to dance. All together and separately!
From reading the bios already posted, I can tell we’re all going to learn a lot from each other and I’m excited to get started. I’m looking forward to laughs, games and good conversations with you all!
