Melanie is a hospice nurse with theatrical roots dating back to 1996, when she performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Pippin in the role of Berthe, the play’s youth-loving grandmother. She has also performed in theaters throughout Columbus, Ohio, where she currently resides.  

She loves Jesus, and she enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking, and walking her senior dog, Leia. She also loves spending time with friends and family, including her 24-year-old son, Micah, who is the apple of her eye. 

Melanie wishes to extend a special thank you to makeup artist Brittney Roberts (Art of Eden Beauty) for her consultation on this project.
