With an audience of over 300,000, Melissa continues to teach fundamental Money Lessons and lead conversations in a creative manner.
In doing so, she hopes to increase millennials\' opportunities to obtain Financial freedom and build Generational wealth.
As a personal finance and career development coach, Melissa\'s main objective is to make conversations about Money the norm.
As Melissa navigated her own personal finance journey, she documented her Money mistakes and Lessons publicly to teach others how she paid off $102,000 in student loan debt and bought her first home.
Melissa went on to write and produce the award-winning web series Millennial In Debt, which highlighted the overwhelming nature of navigating adulthood due to a lack of Financial education.
She would later become the lead instructional designer and curriculum developer for the English department and Collegeboard Advanced Placement courses.
During her 11-year tenure as a New York City high school English teacher, and adjunct professor, Melissa implemented valuable shifts to her instructional design to provide her students with a practical curriculum that would be fundamental to their personal growth outside of the classroom.
For her first party trick, after four years at Adelphi University, she graduated Cum Laude with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Adolescent Education.
As the eldest daughter of immigrant parents, she had to lead by example and was determined to achieve the elusive American Dream.
