 Mella's great love of the English language began her adventures in journalism, with a side passion for sales and marketing. She segued into advertising, and her fascination for both people and champagne propelled her flute first into event and party planning. Many soireés, fetes, and galas later, she's still popping corks, clinking and chatting her way through life.
Social media was always an obsession…every time she met someone new who didn’t have a Twitter or Instagram account, that had to be rectified immediately. Eventually, this love for the new wave of PR became www.ClinkAndChat.com, a social media management company. Mella is also the Executive Producer of the Bubbly Talk Radio Network, and one of the founding hosts of "The Champagne Sisters Show", where the international ladies interview celebrity guests and people who are living their passion, and hosts "Clink, Chat & Catch Up!", a one on one interview with an inspirational person. She's thrilled to be a "Champagne Sister" & encourages everyone to join in & receive the bubbly support from all the ladies! *CLINK!* |
