Meet Melissa
Macaroni KID Publisher, Downtown Houston and Pearland
Boy mama and Chicago native who now calls Houston home with my energetic little one. We made the move to our 'Second City' over 3 years ago, and have loved discovering all that Houston has to offer, which led us to Macaroni KID.
A natural connector with a creative spirit and true city girl at heart. I built my path from a Marketing Communications degree into work experience that has spanned travel, event planning, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I found my creative niche as a recognized nail artist in Chicago, turning passion into a thriving self-employed journey. Life surprised me with motherhood in my 40's, and it has become my greatest chapter yet—proof that every step, twist, and turn along the way has shaped the vibrant story I live today.
