Hello, there!

I’m Melanie. I’m an emerging Vietnamese-American writer and poet. I studied psychology and anthropology at UMBC, and have gone on to work at a DC-based nonprofit that organizes and advocates for reproductive justice.

I’m a fierce board game competitor, pop culture junkie, traveler, and Cat Lady. I’m also a lapsed pianist (much to my parents’ chagrin), and former dancer. My husband and I live in Silver Spring, MD—with our two cats, naturally.
