About
Hi, I’m Melly Perez — San Fernando Valley born and raised, and a proud first-generation Mexican American. I've been working in unscripted television for over 8 years on shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race, MasterChef, and The Amazing Race. I’ve worn just about every hat — from assistant to producer — jumping in to solve problems, pitch big ideas, and keep productions running smoothly.
I love the chaos and creativity of TV, especially testing and pitching new challenges that make it on screen. And when I’m not on set? I’m probably training for my next race, tracking down the best local eats, or navigating life as a first time mom.
