I'm a New England based actress and independent filmmaker.
My acting career began in regional theatre where I worked on a variety of classical and contemporary pieces which then lead to originating roles in both national and world premieres. During this time, I was also an active singer and voiceover artist - training with top private coaches. In 2021, I decided to relocate to New York City to fully commit to deepening my craft. I studied at The William Esper Studio; intensely focusing on the Meisner Technique for several years before graduating in 2023.
I've recently discovered my passion and talent for filmmaking as a writer and director - With extensive experience as an actress, my skill in telling stories through film is deeper in passion, theme and relatability through the humanity of the characters. With all the work I create or stories I'm honored enough to jump into - my goal is to heal and inspire personal renaissance.
Metamorphosis is a short film written, directed and produced by Olivia Hodson.
Mel has gotten her heart broken for the first time. As she struggles to process this, she begins to lean on her friends and listen to herself in ways she never has before. Metamorphosis explores an intimate look into those micro transformations that we all go through, if we only slow down enough to look.
