Melissa wants you to know ...

This is my second year to serve as an Ambassador for the College of Health. I love the University of Southern Mississippi (Go Eagles!) and I graduate with my undergraduate degree in May 2009. I believe each day is a new chance to be your best self and the person God created you to be.

I love being an Ambassador for the College of Health. Through being an active Ambassador, I have met many wonderful students, with similiar ambitions and career goals. I love our involvement with various activities to support a positive healthy lifestyle and eliminate diseases like diabetes and heart disease. I have also enjoyed our involvement with volunteerism that often turns into both good deeds and many laughs and memories.

Favorite quote: "For beautiful lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their hands through it. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone!" ----Audrey Hepburn
