About me

Hi, I'm Mel! I was born in Germany and grew up in a Russian household before moving to the U.S. to study acting. Consequently I am fluent in English, German and Russian and have basic knowledge in French. I am a joyous, light-hearted and passionate actress with a strong work-ethic and deep affinity for music. I have been playing piano for 18 years, started dancing hip hop when I was 8 and continued to dive into various dance styles for several years. In my free time I love to paint, sing, read, work out and honestly do anything that's even remotely connected to art and that gives me the opportunity to express myself creatively.
