Hello! I'm Melodi!
​
Born in Renton, WA, I grew up in Turkey and moved back to Seattle in time for college. Having graduated from Western Washington University with a B.A. in Psychology, and a minor in Sustainable Design in 2013, I continued my education at the University of Oregon, earning a Master's certificate in Sustainability Leadership. Since graduating, I've focused on working in municipal settings, promoting alternative transportation, preparing communication pieces and assisting with event planning. As an advocate of transparency, love being a communicator between the people and the City to help people love where they live. I work with the intention of forming trusting relationships and planning holistic events and communications plans.
