Melissa Malamut, Senior Editor, Health, at Boston Magazine
As the Senior Editor, Health, Melissa assigns and edits lifestyle, health, fitness, beauty, and wellness content for bostonmagazine.com and the monthly print magazine. Melissa is a Massachusetts native, but spent half her life in South Florida and a few years living in NYC to boot. She loves all things Boston, NYC, and the Florida Gators, and has an argument about how she can love both the Red Sox and the Marlins that will knock your socks off. Her book, She's Got Game, was published by St. Martin's Press in 2010. Melissa is also certified to teach Pilates (but doesn't).
