Melissa is recognised as a youth development expert who brings attention to the barriers affecting young men’s health and wellbeing. Since establishing the Foundation, she has become a sought-after speaker and has presented at various conferences, seminars and events. Her objective is to educate, inspire and build a culture where members of the audience understand the urgent need to invest in the development of young men.
