Entertainment Journalist

My name is Melanie Rooten, an aspiring music/entertainment professional based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Originally from Southern California, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma in May of 2023. Since then, I have been contributing to a multitude of music/entertainment-focused publications as a freelance journalist, ultimately building connections within the music/entertainment industry, strengthening my writing skills, expanding my portfolio and more.

As I have become more and more invested in my field, I have become a voting/professional member at the Country Music Association (CMA), as well as taken on a part-time role as a Guest Services Team Member at Bridgestone Arena. Most recently, I have taken on a part-time role as an Event Stylist at Bach Babes as well, eager to hone in on my creativity even further. 

I am always looking for new opportunities, and with your expertise and my drive to grow and succeed, I believe we can create a mutually beneficial relationship. Please contact me at melanieraerooten@gmail.com for inquiries regarding opportunities in the music/entertainment industry.

Hope to hear from you soon!
