She caught money that had been missed by the previous Manager and set up payroll systems from scratch. Using her Navy Wife skills, she brought structure, accountability and efficiency to every aspect of the young company. Her impact was nothing short of transformational. From 2022 to 2025, the Office grew from 10 teams to 20 teams and from 5 company vehicles to more than 20. The Headquarters Office in April 2023 also grew because of her selfless efforts and resulted in July 2024 to a large Management Office. Melissa handled every challenge with grace, kindness, and professionalism. She cared deeply for every employee and always found ways to make things better for the team. Her creativity, work ethic, and compassion helped shape not only the success of the business but the positive culture that she built within it.
