Melanie has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Stanford, because she worked hard to get it and, also, because it was "what she was supposed to do." She was also elected Student Body President and, before that, earned her second-degree black belt, studied piano and performed Bollywood dance. She then took a high-paying job at a prestigious consulting firm in New York City. And then, finally, she decided to throw caution to the wind and moved to LA to peruse what she loved, acting. Melanie did it all and then found what she was meant to do. (And we can't wait to see what she'll do next.) Melanie is a force of beauty.
