Melissa Felix

With a flair for both the creative and the orderly, Melissa runs a tight ship. She has experience in a broad range of fields, from pre-primary education to events planning. Even though Melissa likes the security of the familiar, she is always ready to tackle unknown challenges with careful consideration and courtesy. Her career also attests to the fact that she cares deeply about her community – before joining Folio, she volunteered at her local special needs school and worked as assistant library administrator at her alma mater.

Truly a Jill of all trades, Melissa is a hardworking, determined professional with a kind nature. Her calm demeanour and dedication make her an invaluable addition to the Folio Family.

The thing that I love most about my job is: The vibrant atmosphere and people of Cape Town, where I can catch snippets of different foreign languages and accents from passers-by.
