She established a career in New York City working on projects for HBO, A&E, the Sundance Channel, VIACOM, as well as DISCOVERY.

She is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the call of the wild desert landscape and her family of rescue dogs help keep the work-life-balance more... balanced.
Perhaps the most telling part of my interaction with Melinda was my belief...that it simply couldn’t be done ....But under Melinda’s leadership and with her talents ... it became a product that no outsider would realize was the work of such a small crew. They began turning out episodes that a full production house working on a more lax schedule would be proud of....I could end my referral by simply saying I’m impressed with how much Melinda cares about turning out quality work. But it’s more than that. She also has the ability to turn out quality work....Her skill sets combined with that dedication to generating a top tier product have left me impressed.
