my name is melanie.

i write in lowercase.

i am also a diplomat with the united states department of state. i hope this site can serve as a place for those looking to join the foreign service to get some information and put a face on what exactly this job is.  i will also maintain a  blog - keeping within the limits imposed by the government regarding sensitive information, naturally!
