With many life roles and hats being worn at any given time, Melissa started her journey as an Entrepreneur at the age of 20.
As a single mother and a 2 year old in toe she launched her first entrepreneurial venture as she wasn’t able to afford child care.
Now Melissa is the Chair of Little Yellow Bird, the Deputy Chair of RadioNZ, an Independent Director of Beef + Lamb to name just a few.
She is continually growing her educational mindset to lead with both heart and mind through personal and professional development.
