Cancer Advocacy Resume

A role model for ‘flat reconstruction’, Melanie presents images that are strong, sexy, inspirational and even sometimes confrontational, in an effort to normalize the experience a majority of women face with breast cancer diagnosis. Breaking down the barriers of invisibility for this reconstructive choice has been a focus for Melanie since her diagnosis in 2011.
