Melissa has some excellent sales skills and isn't afraid to make that cold call when necessary, plus surpassed the goals given to her and increased business regularly. She was personable, reliable, and a great asset to our team at EYR. I hope to work with Melissa again someday.

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa on the marketing committee of Family Promise of Grand Rapids. Melissa has a good solid knowledge base in the area of social media and digital marketing. She is a hard worker and very dependable. I look forward to working with her in the future!
