Hello I'm Melinda

My friends call me Mel

I am a multi-hyphenate, multidisciplinary strategist. You can learn more about my work, my expertise and my degrees in my official bio, but I wanted to give you a glimpse into what truly motivates me.

My life's mission revolves around advocating for the true understanding of wealth, and striving towards 

​

Wealth for all !
