Melanie is a proud NYC native with a Belizean heritage. She studied Business Marketing at Howard University and started her career working for celebrity wardrobe stylist, June Ambrose and beauty mogul Iman at IMAN Cosmetics. Her Path to Twitch/Amazon was nonlinear, but the opportunity to bridge partnerships with brands and influencers has been the red thread throughout her career.
Melanie currently sits within the Amazon Advertising Org as a Manager of Program Activation. In this role, she co-leads a team of Program Activation Managers and Influencer Relations Managers across the East Coast, Canada and Brazil. Melanie is also a former Community Lead for Twitch's Black Guild and an advocate for building community in and out of the workplace.
When she's not executing an activation, you can find her traveling, enjoying live music or getting a kickboxing session in.
