Baseball has been a huge part of Melissa's life since she was a six year old playing t-ball. She still remembers alternating between picking grass in left field and reaching in her back pocket for sunflower seeds, hoping the ball might come her way.The magic of those early days on the diamond never faded and baseball has remained a big part of her life to the ripe old age of 27. She's proud to have written off and on for the Canadian Baseball Network for the past 10 years. She currently resides on the east coast in a community with a few more deer than people. She graduated from the journalism program at Toronto Metropolitan University in 2018, and went on to work for the Brandon Sun as a reporter covering the deadly Alonsa tornado and occasionally covering sports. She has worked for SocialEyes Communications since early 2020 as a content creator. Every player, every coach, every broadcaster and every fan has a story, and she's grateful to be able to share those stories of dedication and love for the beautiful sport with Canadian baseball fans through her writing.
