Raised in Oklahoma in the wings of a theatre, Melody came to drama

naturally. From childhood she was writing scripts for herself and her

siblings to act out for family functions. She went on to obtain a degree

in Theatre from the University of Texas at Dallas and, later, a Masters

Degree in Counseling and Guidance from TWU.

Melody studied and taught with Jeff Alexander, Jayne Mansfield’s

acting coach. The birth of her twin girls pulled her out of acting and

into a career as a Licensed Professional Counselor. With the twins and

their older sister grown up and “launched” and two books to her credit,

Melody returned to film with an invigorated passion for great story

telling. As a subject matter expert, Melody appears on talk shows across

the country over 100 times a year. Her experience both as an actor, and

as a counselor gives her a unique perspective on human nature that inspires her, along with

husband Mike, to create intimate and powerful drama that touches everyone. As a writer,

producer, director, editor and actor Melody brings a unique blend of artistic vision and practical

knowledge that drives the film making process.
