About Me.

I am thrilled to be a mother, columnist, Children's book author, and former educator who is passionate about creating a more inclusive and empathetic world! I am dedicated to educating children about the power of kindness and how it can be expressed through actions, not just words. Together, we can all work as a society that thinks beyond ourselves and prioritizes empathy, ensuring that everyone feels heard and seen.

"It's Never too late to change courses in life and find your passion" ~ Melissa 

Where did I get my inspiration from?

I was a former Mommy from the LV Mommy Makeover Miami edition! After leaving the Miami LV Mommy Makeover experience, I was so inspired by the team around me. I found that fire that was always buried in me to pursue my passions. 

How did you become a children's book writer?

Having an education background and a love for writing, I took my time during Covid to write a children’s book. It is inspired by my daughter’s experiences in the world. She was premature and is still faced with challenges as a result. Advocating for inclusivity is personal and something I'm very passionate about.  I knew the book held an important message and that I needed to get it out into the world.

Tell us about your column?

I was given a great opportunity to work with PHM magazine to develop my column. It is another way that I can express my life's journey and continue to inspire others. Its all about life's obstacles and navigating the easy, the hard and the exciting parts of it all.
