Melissa is a fire cracker! Fun, exciting, passionate and motivated. I had the pleasure of working with Melissa while I owned and operated Margo Bistro. She was my "right hand person", and made every day a good day. She is bright, articulate, energetic and has a great sense of humor. I taught her the ropes of restaurant development, management, sales, marketing and event planning. She was like a sponge. She picked up on everything fast, and took ownership of her work. I would hire Melissa in a heart beat for any sales and/or operations job! Two thumbs way up.
