About Me

Born among the rolling hills of Germany, Melanie was raised in Texas but is now an inhabitant of the Southwest by choice, having fallen in love with the mountains and candy-colored sunsets. 

Melanie is a storyteller at heart. Between her love of binge-watching indie films, performing on stage, making films or music videos, or exploring her inner life by gluing tiny words onto photographs, Melanie is a firm believer that stories carry emotional weight and reveal hidden truths about ourselves. 

Melanie’s work has recently been published in Wild Roof Journal. 

When Melanie isn’t story making you can always find her cuddled with a good book, rocking out at a punk show, or planning world domination with her two cats Rosemary and Basil (obviously not pictured).
