Hi! My name is Mella, and I’m a Marine Coastal Environmental Science major with a Biology minor at Coastal Carolina. I’m very involved in different clubs and organizations on campus, and I’m now a junior who has spent all three years at Coastal. I’m very social and love going out with friends, but I also love a nice, quiet beach day. I know all the best spots both on and off camp
