Biography
Melanie’s path to Los Angeles as Keep A Breast’s Community Outreach Director came about during her time in a southern California beach town where she became deeply rooted in the then-novel, now-burgeoning craft beer community. Leveraging her long-standing, sincere relationships with dozens of breweries and their brewers, Melanie was able to create one of the first beer festivals to benefit a nonprofit organization. She called it Brewbies®. To date, Brewbies® is looking forward to its 9th year, is now held in two cities, and has raised over $350,000 for KAB. She loves to explore new breweries and beer styles, even boasting two beers on draught at home, which she shares with her partner, Jay, and their 5 year old rescued pup, “Street Dog”.
