Melissa’s deep-rooted passion for psychology came from her tennis career as an LTA player. Additionally, her curiosity stemmed further into psychology when she wanted to understand human thoughts, behaviours, and emotions to become the greatest. Her driving force is to become the best version of herself in all parts of her life.

Melissa believes psychology is a huge part of our lives. She continues to explain that our mindsets impact our successes and failures. Our mindset matters because it directs our lives.
