Melanie Ricks

Melanie Ricks began her love for public speaking and entertaining at a young age, starting with her dance training when she was three years old. Dancing led her to her love of public speaking, and she decided to pursue Broadcast Journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It was during her time as a student that she also danced for the Milwaukee Bucks for 4 seasons. Mel eventually worked her way up to in-arena host, a role she has filled since the 2012-13 Bucks season - as well as coach of the Bucks' coed dance team, the 414 Crew since the 2018-19 season. In addition to hosting all Bucks home games, you can also catch her on the New 101.7 The Truth weekdays from 7-10a on MKE in the Morning!
