I love telling stories.
Let me help you tell yours
Hi! I’m Melanie, and I specialize in creating connections through storytelling and language.
Whether it’s helping a pivoting professional connect the dots in their career narrative, writing a piece of content to help a brand reach a new audience, or exploring new creative ideas, I believe that successful communication comes down to answering one question:
Who are you talking to and why?
It seems simple, but I can’t tell you how many people I have heard say “I know what I want to say, I just can’t find the words to make it clear to an audience.” Heck, I have said it myself.
We get so lost in the web of what we think we should say that it can be hard to find clarity—and if you’re confused, it’s almost guaranteed that your audience will be too.
As they say, "You can't see the picture from inside the frame." You need a partner who can reflect back your story in a clear way that showcases your uniqueness while illustrating why your audience needs you.
That’s where I can help.
Resume Writing & Personal Brand Coaching
Finding the words to explain our journeys can be a challenge, especially when we are generalists, pivoting directions, or get distracted by shiny ideas and have amassed a lot of skills.
Through Your Pivot Project , I work with creatives and career changers to connect the dots in their narratives to start on the next right path.
What I do
Content Writing & French to English Translation
With five years of experience working for startups and enterprise companies, I create content that puts the customer at the center of the story.
I have worked with companies in the tech, auto, fashion, insurance, and e-commerce sectors, taking complex topics and making them accessible to a broader audience.
Creative & Comedic Writing
I often say that I began my stand-up career in front of a room full of high schoolers. After leaving the classroom, I followed my pen to Los Angeles to pursue comedy.
Now living in Paris, I have several projects in development and continue to pick up a mic on a stage.
