About Melinda Burris
Melinda Burris is an experienced communications professional and medical & wellness content writer with a strong background in research-driven writing, digital communications, and educational content development. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Queens University of Charlotte and has spent over 15 years translating complex health and wellness topics into clear, accessible educational content for readers.
She also completed an American Foundations: Original, Independent Research Study certification at Wake Forest University, and through her research-informed articles, Melinda helps audiences better understand medical-adjacent and regulated subject matter with clarity, accuracy, and confidence.
"I write the patient-facing explainers - state guides, qualifying conditions, what to expect from a telehealth visit. My job is to make sure the page you land on is accurate, up to date, and reviewed by a physician before it's published. If I can't cite a primary source for a claim, the claim doesn't go in the article."
