Amanda Biers-Melcher

is a 20-year resident of Burbank, the mother of a 21-year-old and a 16-year-old (although she could not possibly be that old ) and co-owner of a TV production company with her husband Steve. She’s worn many hats career-wise but she mostly fancies herself a writer. After earning a degree in Classics (that’s right, Latin) from Brown University — where she wrote for the Brown Daily Herald, the Associated Press and The Providence Journal — she decided she’d better do something slightly more useful than drinking Chianti Classico while translating Virgil and got a Masters in Journalism from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism. She also worked for Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE)/NICAR at one point early in her career and broke a national story involving a party supply store, a prostitution ring and the Number One Willie Nelson impersonator in Branson, Missouri. But don’t get your hopes up. There probably isn’t anything like that going on in Burbank. . .

Oh, and the photo? That’s her toy poodle, Pamplemousse.

You’re welcome.
