Ever since she can remember, Melissa has dreamed of being a real estate investor and an entrepreneur. Before she got there though she made a pitstop in Brooklyn to obtain a bachelors degree in business and communications and compete as a division 1 athlete in volleyball.

In 2011 her dream began to take shape with her first multifamily property. Over the course of the next 10 years Melissa established multiple businesses and acquired more real estate providing her with a vast financial and business management education. In addition to those two loves, Melissa is very passionate about personal development, absorbing all she can when it comes to self-improvement strategies, psychology, and positive leadership habits. She believes that financial education is a roadmap to personal autonomy and she’s driven by the financial confidence developed in Tardus clients as they move toward financial freedom.
