Bio: Raised as a hardknock in Scarborough, Canada, Melody first fell in love with electronics as a child when her mom brought home a hand-me-down Apple Centris 650. Even in all its beigeness, it sparked Melody's passion for technology at a young age. While she's always gotten her kicks from gadgets more than anything, her work experience lies in digital media and entertainment - ranging from internships at Boxee.tv and Stage Two Consulting, to a market research study on the Connected Living Room. On that note, Melody prides herself as an "Internet TV revolutionary soldier," standing up for high quality entertainment wholly sourced from the web.

Melody's a devoted supporter of advancing women in technology, and serves as University Director at Girls in Tech. Today, she lives at the exciting nexus of academia, technology, and business in Berkeley, California, where she attends UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Go Bears! close
