Melinda moved to Austin in early 2011. She her first film acting course later that year as a means of creative self-expression and an opportunity to meet people, never thinking she would become a professional actor. It was on the set of Machete Kills in 2012 where she was working as a background actor that the acting bug bit and she’s been continuing her training and adding roles to her resume ever since.
Melinda recently played a Carol Dougherty in Crimin”AL”, a nun in Six Pack Sam, and Mrs. Edwards (younger and senior) in two episodes of Street Stories – LowDown High and Ticket Out of the Game. She also played God in The Secret Place, written and directed by Wendy Bird Womack and Eve (Elder) in The Sconce, written and directed by Mario de la Garza.
