Hi! My name is Melissa (aka; Meli), and I live in Miami, FL with my husband, and daughter. By day, I’m a behavior analyst that specializes in helping children on the autism spectrum and their families. By night, I am a geek chic influencer that focuses on bringing fun, fandom and magic to motherhood through cosplay, pop culture styling and travel. In 2015, I won The Geekie Award for Best Website/Blog and became a mother to an amazing little girl, Luna Ivy. That same year, I founded the Miami chapter of Geek Girl Brunch and was an officer for over 2 years. Since then I have opened a small shop catering to the geek girl community, sat on various geek fashion panels from Florida Supercon to San Diego Comic Con, and have loved connecting with fellow geeky ladies all around the world.
I love collaborating with small and large businesses alike, as long as I believe they are a good fit for my blog in terms of content and topic. If you are interested in cross-promoting, feel free to contact me at melificentblog@gmail.com.
