Melanie was born in the San Francisco Bay Area. At 13 she moved to South Carolina, where she attended local journalism classes and served on the teen board for the Augusta Chronicle; one of the US's oldest newspapers.

She attended Maranatha University where she lettered in DIII soccer while earning a BA in humanities and minors in history and writing. She began writing for Maranatha's Communications Department, where she quickly became involved in video productions, incorporating her lifelong love of narrative and creative storytelling with her journalism and writing background. She partnered with other students to write, film, edit, and produce skits, parodies, shorts, and a weekly webcast. That hands-on experience, in addition to her writing degree, permanently shifted her focus to film work.

Upon graduation, Melanie interned at Paste Magazine in Atlanta, where she edited and produced live musical performances, radio broadcasts, and video reviews. She continued pursuing film work in Wisconsin (Battleground, Street Pulse) the West Coast (The Voice, Hotel Hell), and then on to Australia (The Apocalypse will be Automated, The Fort).

While working on projects from serial narratives to feature documentaries, she has continued writing screenplays, essays, and columns for culture and music blogs.

Melanie recently finished directing the web series Phi and Me (June 16 2019) and Real Melbourne (July 2019). She was recently named an emerging director by Screen Australia, is attached to direct an experimental IGTV series, and has written a TV pilot with her writing partner.
