Hi, I’m Melanie

Attorney, Entrepreneur Ally, and Legacy Builder

I was born and raised in Bronx, NY. I did not have my first lemonade stand at eight, and there are no tales of buying candy and flipping it for a higher price during recess. I did not come from a long line of entrepreneurs but from hard working people, for sure. All things considered, there was no way I could have predicted I would own more than one business. Because I believe in and know the importance of small businesses to any community (and the nation), I am excited about helping entrepreneurs and small business owners; especially those, who like me, did not come from generations of business ownership.

*Full disclosure, I'm usually in jeans, and that Apple laptop is a prop. I love my new Microsoft Surface Book 2 : )
