Available to hire
Hi everyone! I’m Melissa! I’m a multi-hyphenate creative, currently traveling the country with the Broadway National Tour Wicked. When I’m not performing at night, I work in children’s media during the day. I created my own children’s podcast called Stoopkid Stories, which has garned over 1 million downloads, has been developed into a TYA musical and has been used in classrooms all over as SEL cirriculum. I also write and produce for other children shows. If you are a PBS fan, you might hear my voice on the new cartoon, “Count on JuneBug” as Cece the centipede. I am here for your performance, writing, producing and consulting needs. Let’s connect!
