Meet Your Facilitators
"My roots trace back to broadcast media and communications. For well over a decade my voice echoed across various radio channels, engaging audiences and cultivating harmony with listeners and companies alike. I pivoted my on-air experience, retaining and cultivating my experience in marketing and promotions and have infused them into each venture since.
Each endeavor I’ve pursued, from Oh My Cupcakes! to Sweet Cream Candle Co. and Melissa J Creative is crafted with intention to create beautiful things that bring joy into the world.
Today I passionately merge my entrepreneurial spirit with my love of people, inspiring others as a keynote speaker, an experiential retreat facilitator, and a professional development trainer."
