Melissa shares stories of overcoming bullies in school and how she used her resources to begin her quest to become a marine biologist. One of the most exciting parts of this episode is when Melissa shares the incredible story of how she was bit by a crocodile while studying sharks in the Caribbean and how she survived this attack. Towards the end of this episode Melissa and I give a nod to our Latino culture by having a short conversation in Spanish. This episode concludes with a fun discussion about music that is native to Australia, the country Melissa lives in!
