ABOUT MELISSA
Through skydiving, I discovered a passion for the sport and gained invaluable lessons in leadership, entrepreneurship, and connection. With over 12,000 jumps and 26 world records, my journey has been one of personal growth and teamwork, while applying my marketing, content creation, and consulting expertise to help others succeed in their ventures. I’ve had the privilege of leading at events like the USPA National Skydiving Championships and hosting the Montrose Yoga Festival. Alongside my skydiving career, my path as a yoga teacher has been transformative. With over 1,500 hours of teaching, I draw from BKS Iyengar, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Medicine to guide students with strength, mindfulness, and compassion. I also teach 200-hour yoga teacher trainings, including my own program launched in 2020.Both skydiving and yoga have taught me the value of balance, mindfulness, and continuous learning. My mission is to inspire others to challenge their limits, find peace in the present, and embrace the beauty of both strength and stillness.

As a passionate storyteller and seasoned keynote speaker, I’ve had the honor of inspiring audiences at a variety of events, from industry conferences to business workshops. My talks range from the adrenaline of skydiving to the power of personal growth, entrepreneurship, and resilience. Whether I’m speaking at the Parachute Industry Association, hosting workshops for the Montrose Chamber of Commerce, or emceeing prestigious events like the USPA Nationals and World Meet, I’m driven to help others break through their limits and create meaningful change. I’m excited to share my story of overcoming challenges, embracing fear, and finding purpose—no matter the platform.
