Hey, I'm Mel.

I started writing in high school journalism before moving on to covering the Houston Rockets & San Antonio Spurs for "Enforce the Sport" and long-form essays on the psychology behind our everyday experiences for "Medium."

These days, I get paid to disappear down internet rabbit holes, which is honestly the career path I was always destined for.

I live in Austin, have an unreasonable number of houseplants, and am probably the most aggressively optimistic elder emo you'll ever meet.
