About

Melanie smiling while looking out into the distance.

I am a black belt in mental health recovery skills. I spend time consuming and doing creative stuff because it’s fun and because I feel good during and especially after. I have decades of experience as a teacher, coach, and mentor, inside and outside of corporate environments. Rainbows are my colour of choice. I am a dog, cat, and kid whisperer. I’m kind, I’m curious, I feel deeply and I love abundantly. I nerd out on neuroscience, RuPaul’s Drag Race is my not-guilty pleasure, and I am a joyful, passionate advocate for equity for ALL people, periodT.
