Melanie began her dance training in Graham Technique as a member of the Tennessee Children’s Dance Ensemble and later continued her ballet training at Minnesota Dance Theater under the tutelage of Marjorie Thompson and Gloria Govrin. She excelled as a principal artist with MDT under Artistic Director Lise Houlton, performing in both classical and contemporary works by choreographers such as Dwight Rhoden, Elliot Feld, Hope Boykin, and many others.
Transitioning from the stage, Melanie founded “I Speak Organized,” a professional organizing company specializing in organizing/productivity strategies for ADHD and other neurodiverse clients. As a nationally recognized organizing expert and public speaker, her insights have been featured in Forbes, Martha Stewart, USA Today, and more. She shares her expertise through her popular podcast and YouTube channel, offering valuable guidance on the business of creating organized, harmonious spaces.
Melanie continues to inspire through speaking engagements and coaching, leveraging her artistic discipline and organizational acumen to guide a diverse range of audiences toward success. She is thrilled to work alongside all the inspiring artists and staff at OBT.
