Melanie is of Scots-Irish, Spanish-Mexican, Czech and German descent and is originally from Aurora, Colorado where she went to Gateway High School. She spent her junior year of high school as a foreign exchange student in Dinan, France, where she became an avid Francophile and learned fluent French. Melanie went on to earn her BA in English and Theatre from Barnard College - Columbia University, and has trained in London with BADA, in improv with an iO alum, in voiceover with Paul Pape and in acting with Krater and BGB Studios.

Among other odd jobs, she has worked as a valet, a caterer and a paralegal, at one point even selling her plasma. She is a motorcyclist, a certified diver and an avid animal lover who has two cats and two dogs, all rescues, whom she serenades on a regular basis--sometimes in French, sometimes in Spanish, but mostly in English. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Melanie Cruz
