A student at the French-American School of New York (FASNY, Class of 2029), Melitta embodies global citizenship, combining academic rigor with deep empathy, cultural fluency, and an unwavering commitment to community empowerment.
Melitta’s philanthropic leadership began at just nine years old when she became ShareLove.Fund’s youngest individual fundraiser, independently raising over $800 to expand youth access to wellness programs. She co-authored ShareLove.Fund’s published culinary and health science volume, Broadening Our Horizons: What Can Modern Food Science Learn from Historical Nutritional Practices?, contributing its compelling introductory chapter at age nine. As President of Research, she leads academic inquiry into historical wellness traditions, mindful movement, and community health integration.

Honoring the legacy of her late grandmother, Suze Davilmar, Melitta launched Morning Star TP, a social enterprise designed to foster joy, connection, and emotional wellbeing among children.
As a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher at the highest level (RYT 500), Melitta integrates physical wellness with community advocacy. Her foundational work alongside her family was instrumental in launching ShareLove.Fund's initial outreach initiatives.
