Mel fights for healthcare
She lobbied with LGBTQ Action RI to successfully ban conversion therapy. Then Melanie fought side by side with Planned Parenthood and The Womxn Project as they witnessed Senator Archambault’s betrayal of his campaign promise to pass RHCA; the team then rallied and passed RPA in its place. Committed to lifelong learning and continuous improvement, Melanie earned her diploma from Vancouver Film School’s writing program in 2015, and is currently studying to become an Atlassian Certified Professional Confluence Administrator.
