and is looking forward to a career helping to create a more
comprehensive approach to voice education for performers and
professional voice users.

Melanie continues to enjoy performing with big bands and in
musicals.
Melanie is excited to be involved in CASLPA.
She recognizes the importance of CASLPA in promoting public
awareness of speech-language pathology and audiology and providing
