Associate editor Melissa Colgan contributes to
Mpls.St.Paul’s LifeStyle, Homes, and Dining Out departments. Originally
from Wisconsin, her love for fashion, beauty, interior design, and magazines
manifested early on with stacks of her mother’s
Vogues and an obsession
with touring model homes. Melissa moved to the Cities in 2001 to attend the
University of Minnesota’s journalism school, where she graduated in May 2006.
Before starting at
Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, she interned at Mall of
America, assisting in media segments, fashion shows, and the development of
advertising campaigns, an opportunity that helped her get her hands in and
around local retail. She currently stores her stacks of magazines and
ever-expanding collection of new and vintage clothing in a charming East Isles
brownstone.
