ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Melody Scott, and I am a diligent and innovative creative with a strong background in storytelling, live production, and crafting single and multi-camera video packages. Skilled at adapting to new challenges and bringing concepts to life through high-quality production. Passionate in capturing authentic and meaningful stories utilizing multimedia platforms.

I'm originally from the state of Georgia, but I went to Belmont University with aspirations to become a videographer and editor. At Belmont, I learned more about my vocation with experiences working at the Belmont Vision, an award-winning college newspaper, and in Belmont University Athletics, where I helped out with ESPN+ broadcasts and created content for Belmont Athletics' social media pages and website.

Who Am I?

My values stem from the friends and connections I have made throughout my life and time at Belmont University. I love talking and learning more about people and challenging myself to go out of my comfort zone. I value the importance of adaptability, diligence, trust, and leadership.
