Melissa decided to join the immigration industry in late 2017. This desire was born from the need to assist immigrants through the stressful immigration process, having been through the journey herself and seeing the need for quality service in the field. Melissa successfully completed her Graduate Diploma in Immigration Advice before joining our team.

Born in South Africa, Melissa moved to New Zealand with her partner and fur-kids in 2016 – this experience allows her to bring a personal approach to the migration process.

Melissa holds qualifications in Marketing Management and Technical Accounting, this coupled with her background in finance, operations and management across different industries, Melissa brings an analytical approach to her client’s cases while maintaining the human connection that can sometimes become devalued in this challenging industry.  She is based out of Christchurch.

Outside of work Melissa is an animal lover and spends her time outdoors with her dogs. She is also a practising Yoga Teacher and often holds yoga sessions with our other team members.
