Reality TV to Real Life: The Power of Risk and Resilience

Melissa will share her powerful story of risk, resilience, and reinvention — from navigating sudden fame and public scrutiny to building a thriving career and community impact. Her talk offers actionable strategies for goal setting, leadership, and personal growth.
