I'm Melissa Romero, a journalist and communications professional. I currently work in communications and engagement for a local non-profit.

 

Most recently, I was the editor of Curbed Philly, a real estate, architecture, and design destination for people who love where they live. Prior to that, I was an associate editor at Men's Health magazine and a staff writer and health editor at Washingtonian magazine in DC. My work has also been published in Philadelphia Style Magazine, Neighborhoods.com, Vice, Women's Health Philippines and Runner's World Philippines, and more. I am a proud alum of S.I. Newhouse of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where I was a high jumper for the D1 track and field team.

 

When I'm not writing you'll find me enjoying good eats, exploring Philly, or ambling along on a hiking trail.
