For the past 24 years, I have helped businesses and individuals create their brand presence to achieve their goals through media, marketing, design, and public relations.
I believe in the power of networking, social media and establishing wonderful relationships in order to help elevate each other. I am a local and nationally recognized press writer & journalist covering real estate (residential & commercial), business topics, and current marketing & social media trends.
In 2022, I was named the 2022 Influencer in Marketing by GlobeSt.com. I was also named to the 2022 OTSO IWD Influential Women of Commercial Real Estate, named to the CREi Movement List of Influential Women, 2022 #CREi Top Instagram Influencers, as well as #CREi Top Twitter Influencers.
My press work has been published thousands of times on a variety of other media outlets, including print magazines, Online media websites, newsletters, social media, and so much more. Since there are so many areas in my career, I felt this website would give you my visual resume of everything I am personally and professionally involved in.

I am so excited to announce my book, 'ONE YELLOW BRICK'
This book dives into the personal struggles I had to overcome as a young entrepreneur and takes you down a winding road that unravels marketing strategies that help any man or woman in business to Build the Empire they have always dreamed of.
I get asked so many times on how I can help people build their business, gain new customers or simply get rid of all the toxicity in your life to open positive opportunities to help you take the right path. Effective marketing strategies, personal stories about my journey and the "wizardly tips" that I have used over the last 23 years to build my success and the success for others.

Check back here for the latest updates and for the final book release date.
"The book shares Melissa's sassy sense of humor even as she tackles some serious topics. The book guides readers to success and they go along with Melissa as she digs through some "dirt" and comes out on the other side. Melissa is passionate about taking the high road and as a result, the book has a very positive, upbeat tone throughout. She's courageous in tackling all that life throws at her in order to achieve success in business and life. The book reflects Melissa's personality to a "T". Reading the book is like sitting down with Melissa and having a great heart-to-heart conversation. Melissa is about Real Talk with Real People."
