Melissa (she/her) practices Hellenistic astrology in Phoenix, Arizona. Her interest in astrology started at a young age, but she started to study it more seriously after leaving academia, in 2020. Now, she uses her astrological knowledge to support her freelance work, including administrative assistance, social media marketing, and podcast production. In all her work, her focus is on accessibility and inclusion, with hopes of opening up opportunities for greater representation in the astrological community.

When not looking to the stars, she’s either reading, watching the latest hit TV show, or working on her podcast, In Bed With Books. Her academic background is quite the hodgepodge of liberal arts studies, starting at Arizona State University with Anthropology, Art History, and Literature, particularly in the Classical period. Later she attended King’s College London, receiving a Master’s in 18th century studies.
