“I help individuals aged 55 and older protect their money from market risk and secure the lifetime income essential to ensuring a stable and confident retirement. I chose this profession after realizing how financial literacy was lacking in our upbringing and education system

”When the global recession hit, along with the 2008 stock market crash, I was just starting my adult career in a different industry. Many individuals around me experienced massive loss in their retirement accounts, and at that moment, I realized most Middle Americans had no clue what to do or where to go for help.

“I like to help clients take control of their future and not leave it up to chance,” Melissa says. “I help make sure the people I work with never run out of money.”

Melissa is also a legacy creator—helping clients build, protect, and pass on wealth and security to future generations. Licensed in California, Illinois, Georgia, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Utah, Texas, Nevada, Virginia, and Michigan, she says that “the financial services industry has been my college and education.”

Melissa’s goal is to leave you feeling better about your future. “My favorite part of this job is when I see that I have created peace of mind and clarity for my clients,” she says.

Born and raised in Orange County, CA, Melissa still resides there with her family. “My husband is also my business partner, and we are both licensed professionals. We share three young daughters,” she says. “I am a dedicated mother and wife, our children are involved in our local church, called Friends, in Yorba Linda, California. I like to associate myself with like-minded, goal-oriented individuals in our community and I find a lot of them at our church.”

In her free time, Melissa enjoys reading, tennis, and weekly visits to the beach. “When I am not helping clients, I spend my time staying active with fitness, self-development, and meditation,” she says. “As a family, we spend our time off vacationing discovering new beaches.”
