Everyone loved Mel! Her passion and enthusiasm for storytelling was evident and she had a talent for drawing out that same creativity in students and adults alike! Her ability to connect with students through her puppets was amazing! Mel is so creative and flexible - always willing to design programs to fit our school's needs! I highly recommend Mel! Teresa Anderson Director of Curriculum and Instruction Piqua City Schools

Mel has been coming to our elementary school for 10+ years to provide an artist residency which includes performances and workshops. Every year she receives rave reviews from the staff and students alike, and every year the teachers ask if we can have her back again! Mel is excellent with children, full of energy and teaches about the arts in a way that is memorable and fun! Janetta Briscoe FRC Coordinator Owen County Elementary School

MellyPop was so flexible with our theme of "Beach Week". Mel worked with the school-agers all week to build jellyfish and octopus puppets, write a play and rehearse a performance for our pre-school students. The kids built some awesome puppets and had a meaningful performing and fine arts experience. Mel was great at engaging the kids and inspiring their imaginations!
