“Melissa is a nonprofit leader and self-taught podcaster, as well as the co-founder of the nonprofit Party In-Kindness.

With her profound understanding of the art of giving and her empathetic perspective, Melissa is the perfect guide to exploring the transformative power of kindness.”
My journey with Savvy Giving Gal has been shaped by my deep-rooted passion for philanthropy and an unwavering belief in the importance of prioritizing our health. To me, there's no greater gift than embracing a healthy life and spreading kindness to others.
I wear many hats in life, including mom to my two kids, Noah, who's 16, and Sophia, who's 13. I'm also a nonprofit founder and the Executive Director of Party In-Kindness, an organization close to my heart (www.partyin-kindness.org). Beyond that, I'm a fitness and nutrition enthusiast, a tennis player, an avid podcast listener and now HOST. Whenever I need solace, you'll find me by the ocean, and I'm in love with my dog Frankie. If I have a secret indulgence, it's undoubtedly for buying skincare products.
I hope you’ll join me on The Savvy Giving Gal Podcast, where I explore how giving back and building community can profoundly impact our health. Each episode features inspiring conversations with local changemakers, philanthropists, and entrepreneurs who have woven generosity into their businesses and everyday lives. Together, we’ll dive into their journeys, the impact of their work, and the valuable lessons they’ve learned along the way.
xo, Melissa
