Melanie is a dedicated leader committed to self-mastery, resilience, and service.

From an early age, she was immersed in a philosophy of strength, discipline, and independent thinking—shaping her into the warrior she is today.

Homeschooled from ages 4 to 18, Melanie developed a deep sense of independence, critical thinking, and self-reliance. At just nine years old, she began training in Shinsei Hapkido, a traditional Eastern martial art passed down directly from South Korea. This system, designed to build leaders, instilled in her the ability to conquer the mind, body, and spirit—qualities essential for the mission she now undertakes.

At 20, she became a licensed cosmetologist, graduating from

Paul Mitchell with five job offers, including one in Hollywood. However, after experiencing the entertainment industry firsthand, she recognized a lack of honor, integrity, and authenticity. Staying true to her core values, she returned home to Alabama to work for herself, choosing purpose over prestige.

By 21, Melanie enlisted in the United States Marine Corps , serving as a Military Police Officer and Military Working Dog (MWD) Handler. Stationed in Okinawa, Japan, she worked alongside special operations military personnel, handling an explosives detection and patrol certified dog.

Through her service, Melanie witnessed the toll military life took on her fellow Marines. Many struggled with PTSD, loss of purpose, and declining health after transitioning to civilian life. She saw strong warriors lose their way—and it became clear that her true mission was not just to serve beside them, but to help them rebuild.

Guided by her core belief: “I am my brother’s keeper,” Melanie has dedicated herself to ensuring that those who have served—our warriors(both military and law enforcement), protectors, and leaders—regain their strength, health, and clarity of purpose.
