Hey, I’m Mel!
I write about weird things.
I’m a freelance journalist who writes personal essays and articles about sports (and the athletes who participate in them), sports tourism, & quirky travel-y things.
More about me soon!

Who I Work With
Currently looking for: Athletes & Weird Sport Promoters
I want to interview athletes at all levels of sport – competitive spirit, recreational, DIY, competitive, elite, and masters. If you consider yourself an “outlier” due to age or gender or otherwise, feel frustrated by others telling you you’re not “a real athlete” (lolz, whatever, dude), or need to explain what your sport is to everyone you meet, we’re probably the right match!
Let’s talk about how you work through mental blocks, how you prepare for the weird, and how you experience joy, playfulness, success, and fulfillment in your sport.
**Please note: I am no longer taking clients in a sport psychology or mental training capacity**
