From domestic abuse to security detail, Melissa has lived a life some can relate to. Coming from an abusive relationship, she entered the military where things continued to challenge her. Struggling to deal with things, as most of us can relate to, Melissa coped with alcohol. In the darkest places she found herself having suicidal ideations until finally her friend stepped up and said something.
Melissa continues to step into her own and navigate this thing called life while she is pursuing a degree in exercise science. She became master resiliency trainer and an ASIST personnel (someone who is trained to talk to suicidal folks) and became a Suicide prevention advocate with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Melissa's life has given her a purpose and mission to help others. It's beautiful. Keep up the good work Melissa!
