about melanie spring

A Western New York native, Melanie has the heart of a small town girl but the eyes of a city girl. Moving from the East Coast to the West and back, she finally settled in the DC area.

Melanie graduated from Keuka College, a small, private liberal arts school in the Fingers Lakes with a Bachelor's in Organizational Communication (Marketing, PR & Advertising). While in school, she started a website company to help the local businesses but hit the job market after college and worked in advertising and recruiting until 2009. When she lost her job, she found herself happily self-employed again.

Daily, Melanie helps DC area entrepreneurs and non-profits while running a web marketing company in Bethesda, MD, Sisarina Inc. Her passion for small business & helping others has caused her company to grow quickly and successfully. With her love for being social, she started networking events called #DCTweetup, a meetup for those on Twitter to meet in person.

On Sundays, you can find Melanie at Church in Bethesda leading music with voice and piano. Her church family is a huge part of her life & she makes sure to take time to setup her women's bible study every month.

In her rare and valuable free time, Melanie is either pounding the trails in her Vibram FiveFingers or reading while snuggling with her dogs, Bailey & Griffin. She's created an incredible community of people that she finds time to spend with between her girlfriends, colleagues and church family.

Although she loves to blog, she also loves when others guestblog. Check out the fun stuff there - blog.
