Melissa Staker

Originally from the Midwest, I grew up as a country girl learning the facets of life through nature, gardening, hunting, farming, and taking care of animals. I was also homeschooled up until high school. Playing "dress up" was always so exciting and fun for me so it was a no-brainer to spend much of my energy in drama class and my choir and swing choir classes and to continue to delve into acting and theatre in college. After college I moved to Kansas City for a few years and pursued acting as well as becoming a full-time ranch hand and cattle wrangler....aka....a legitimate "cowgirl." But the cows didn't have the best appreciation for my talents--although I do think they are probably missing my singing--so I packed my bags and headed to LA ready to live out of my car until I could get myself plugged in. And now? Here I am. I enjoy singing, riding motorcycles, horseback riding, trapping, shooting guns, trot and limb lining for catfish, studying Nei Kung, and learning new things.
