POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

✨ I can finally share the news... ✨

I'm was a contestant on Season 2 of 99 to Beat!

👁️ 👄 👁️
..... 🥼 .....

For everyone who's new here—hi! I'm Mel. I'm a creative at heart and spend my days inventing, researching, designing, storytelling, and doing all the normal, weird things called "science."

I few things about me:

1. I'm currently creating a comic book series. It's about the AI world with techies...

2. Also, I love science. So. Damn. Much! It's my passion.

3. But I have to say I love animals even more than all the creativity and scientific discoveries combined 😭😭😭 animals are too perfect for this world.

4. Oh, I live on a boat 😚 with one rescue cat and four doggos.

5. I believe life is about saying "yes" to new adventures, even when they're a little scary. That mindset led me to one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Being part of 99 to Beat challenged me in ways I never expected. It was filled with laughs, nerves, surprises, and some truly incredible people. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to take part, and I can't wait for you all to watch the journey unfold!

📺 99 to Beat premieres September 23 on FOX
📺 Streaming the next day on Hulu

Thank you, everyone! I hope you'll tune in and cheer me on! 🥰🥰🥰

A recap of June 3rd, 2025 to June 3rd, 2026.

I never really let me hair grow out natural so, I was curious and then I became fixated on the natural grays.

I then went blind for a day with #opticneuritisawareness all a part of the #multiplesclerosis diagnostic which came later that year...

But then things turned out all right in the end.

Got the boat life at night. Got the animals every day.

Got the inventions coming through which are going to help millions affected by disadvantaged conditions in our societies 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's all right. I'm all right. Life's all right 🥳 this is what life at 44 is looking like.

This was the ball drop challenge. Game 1, episode 1, 99 to Beat season 2.

Essentially they have you come out stand in a big old circle in front of you are sublime folds you got to pick them up put them on and then it's lights out and hope for the best 😝😅😅😅

You see in the video, I had a strategy. I'll make a video commenting on games 1 and 2. #melOn99toBeat
