Melissa Ripp

i don't write, i tell stories...which would explain my lack of brevity, and yet -- i'm also a social media coordinator for several small businesses in chicago, so maybe i'm not as long-winded as i think. i've been an assistant innkeeper, a non-profit marketing director, a freelance journalist, and the best waitress you've ever had. never met a croissant or a j.crew sale rack i didn't like.
