About Melissa
A Different Kind of Real Estate Expert
Before entering real estate, Melissa built a diverse career in hospitality, events, entrepreneurship, and digital marketing. She holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in hospitality and event management from UNLV and founded and operated a successful event business in Phoenix for nearly a decade — producing more than 3,700 events as founder and COO of Arizona's #1 mobile paint-and-sip company.
Her background in hospitality gives her a service-focused approach to real estate, while her extensive digital marketing experience allows her to bring an elevated marketing perspective to the homes and clients she represents.
After relocating her own family from the Phoenix/Scottsdale area to Charlotte, Melissa also understands the relocation process from a personal perspective. Today, she combines real estate expertise, marketing strategy, hospitality, and firsthand relocation experience to help clients navigate the Charlotte market.
