Hi everyone! My name is Melanie Porter and I am a local to Arizona. I was born in Mesa, and moved back to Arizona when I was 11 after nine years of living on the east coast. I am studying journalism at Arizona State University and I hope to one day be a news broadcaster. My favorite things to do in Arizona are trying out Mexican food restaurants and participating in all of the cheesy western themed events. I also love participating in community events and getting to know all of the people who live in our sunny state. I am proud to be a resident of Arizona and I am excited to show you all why I love it so much! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melon_porter/
