Biography

Hi! My name is Becca Melanson and am a first year on the UCLA Women's water polo team. I currently live in LA, but my hometown is Pittsburgh. While I am not training I have recently gotten into gardening and have always loved being outdoors. I LOVE music and could talk about genres, artists, and lyrics for hours. My current favorite artist would have to be Bruno Mars. I haven't been able to show off my culinary skills much this year, but I am a huge foodie - I love to cook and bake and am always willing to try something new. I have been to Greece and Hawaii 2x each, but hope of exploring more!
