As a Strategic Development Partner, I help companies increase employee effectiveness, engagement, and retention through impactful learning and development. With 14 years of experience in L&D and HR—including 12 years in the fast-paced world of advertising—I design and deliver programs that drive real behavior change and business impact.
At the same time, I'm an ICF-certified executive coach with a passion for supporting moms in high-demand industries—especially advertising.
Through 1:1 and group coaching, I help ambitious, overwhelmed women gain clarity, focus, and control in both their professional and personal lives. My approach blends strategy, mindset work, and deep empathy—because I’ve been there too. As a mom of three, I know the challenges of navigating your career while raising a family in a demanding environment.
Whether I'm partnering with organizations to level up their talent or coaching individual women to redefine success on their own terms—my mission is the same:
✨ To create space for growth.
✨ To support clarity in the chaos.
✨ To help people feel aligned, energized, and confident

About Me
Hi, I’m Melissa—a coach, facilitator, and mom of three who believes deeply in the power of connection, adventure, and personal growth.
My journey has taken me across states and continents—from California to Texas, and from Italy to Spain—and every place has shaped how I see the world. I value freedom, curiosity, and meaningful conversation, whether I’m hiking a trail, chasing my kids around, or diving into a really good novel.
I’ve spent over 14 years in the learning and development space, supporting leaders and teams through moments of growth and change.
Now, I specialize in coaching working moms—especially those navigating the high demands of industries like advertising—to help them reconnect with themselves, reimagine success, and return to work feeling empowered, not depleted.
I believe being a mom makes you a stronger leader—not a sidelined one—and I’m here to help organizations and individuals build cultures where that’s the norm, not the exception.
My suite of services include executive coaching, programming, and workshops/training.
