Melvie is a Fourth Year Student from Oakland, California. She was adopted from Guatemala and holds her Latina Identity and both places she comes from very closely to her. She is a History Major with a concentration in Public History and a Minor in Archaeology. Public History takes academic history and transforms it into a personal experience for the public, and Melvie hopes to do that in her career in the future. Another future goal that she has is to study abroad and to travel more. "Being a part of SLG has taught me to be loud and proud about who I am and the values I stand for which directly line up with SLG's five founding principles. I feel stronger than ever in who I am, but I am continuously learning more by being a member of a Multicultural Greek Organization."
