Melissa Falen

I am a retired career associate professor and collegiate athletics coach. Shortly after retirement, I had an opportunity for a background role. I had a great experience, loved the diverse community of people I met on set, and decided to pursue more significant acting opportunities. Since then, I have been fortunate to get speaking roles in short and feature films, tv series, podcasts, and commercials, along with more background work. As a former coach, I understand and embrace teamwork. I have strong leadership skills, am organized and have solid computer skills. I am motivated to learn, grow and excel as a film and voice-over actor. My time is flexible, I am willing to travel, and I am a "quick" study. My outside interests include film in general, photography, hiking, pickleball, politics and LBGTQ advocacy.
