Melissa is no stranger when it comes to cheering. For the past 13 years of her life, she has devoted her life to cheerleading. In high school, she was a member of the Martin High School cheerleading squad While she cheered at Martin, her squad became the 1st runner up at NCA Nationals for three years in a row! She is also a five time NCA All-American. She has been an NSU cheerleader for almost three years. Unknowing to her, she is in love with any guy that mentions he plays football. Everyone jokes with her about it, but I guess it doesn't sink in. We all love you Melissa, but you have to trust us when we say, You Love Football Players! Finally, Melissa loves to spend time with her gorgeous "little sister" in Phi Mu, Emily Simpson
