Melody has been developing and producing high-profile television content for 12 years, both in the UK and internationally, for broadcasters such as the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Discovery TLC and National Geographic.
She has a track record of working on award-winning, iconic TV firsts including The Real Marigold Hotel (BBC One) and The Secret Life of 4 Year Olds (Channel 4). She has also made four Stacey Dooley films and is known for her work with sensitive access and contributor care.
Melody is now working in the wonderful world of drama, and recently finished production on Bad Sisters for Merman/Apple TV+. She also recently worked on a movie musical short, and would love to take on more projects in that genre.
Prior to getting into television, Melody trained in Musical Theatre at The BRIT School and subsequently produced, directed and choreographed several fringe musicals both at university and beyond. She also assistant stage-managed BBC Learning's Over the Rainbow live theatre tour which took place off the back of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's BBC One TV series of the same name, documenting his search for the next performer to play Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
Proud of her Spanish/Scottish heritage and working-class roots, Melody is a vocal and active champion of diversity within the industry. She is driven by a genuine curiosity about what it means to be human, and a desire to tell stories with which an audience can connect. Her ultimate goal is to work across a diverse slate of authentic, compelling and entertaining content - ideally involving music - whilst helping to drive important change and progress within industry culture and practice.
