Selena Melillo is from West Haven, CT, and graduated high school in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before coming to Aquinas College, Selena opened and ran her own online Etsy business called “Art By Sel” where she created art pieces for high school seniors and college students commemorating on where they decided to attend college. As she continued her business from home, she decided she wanted to venture out and explore a little more of what life had to offer. In September of 2021, she applied and was accepted into the Disney College Program. She moved to Orlando, FL where she was assigned custodial at Disney Springs. Though it was not such a glamorous job, she ended up loving it. Through her program, she made many connections, attended special Disney cast member events, met life-long friends, and got to experience the life of working for Mickey Mouse!

Selena is currently a sophomore currently working as the AQ Advantage Center’s First Destination Survey Assistant and loves being apart of the AC family!

I am originally from Sturgis, MI. My major is elementary education, which was decided in my senior year of high school. I love being around children in a school setting, for they are absolutely crazy and find ways to make your day by just being around. I am on the cheer and STUNT teams because I love to tumble and wear flashy clothes. I’m such an introvert who enjoys reading, coloring, and doing legos!
