Client Testimonials
Check out some of my project highlights on my project portfolio page.
Shanie J. - Executive Director, Piedmont Healthcare
I highly recommend Melanie to support project management goals. Melanie worked on a very complex quality program restructure project for us and showed herself to be collaborative, poised, and willing to learn from others. She interfaced with system leaders very well and collaborate with other project managers effectively to execute on a complex organizational transition. She listens well and cares about getting the job done right! I’m very proud of her continuing to pursue her goals as a project management professional.
Mary Beth R. - Business Partner, Philips Healthcare Solutions
Mel is an exceptional talent and I was fortunate to have her on my team. She joined the Ambient Experience business in August 2022. In her 5 months with the business in 2022 she contributed SIGNIFICANTLY to the development and growth of the Behavioral Health program in NAM.
She met or exceeded all of the objectives she was given for on-boarding, product commercialization and launch in the market, and business development and sales to support funnel growth, customer engagement and orders. In that short timeframe we grew the funnel by 78%.
She was independent in supporting customer meetings and presentations immediately. Even traveling by herself to customer presentations and conference on our team’s behalf. I would highly recommend leveraging her strategic partnership for your next venture,
Darren P. - PMO Director, Northside Hospital
Melanie is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive project managers I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my 20+ years in leadership. During her time as a Contract Senior Technical IT Project Manager for our healthcare organization of over 30,000 employees, Melanie managed over seven complex projects simultaneously with a level of precision, clarity, and leadership that is rare to find.
Her ability to juggle competing priorities, drive initiatives forward, and bring alignment across cross-functional teams was simply remarkable. Whether it was working with technical leads, coordinating with marketing, training, and communications teams, or ensuring every detail was documented thoroughly—Melanie consistently delivered at an exceptional level.
I often referred to her as Superwoman because that’s exactly what she was to our team. She set a new bar for what I look for in a project manager. In fact, she’s now the standard I use when hiring full-time PMs. Her ability to lead with confidence, collaborate across departments, and keep complex initiatives on track made a lasting impact on our organization.
Any organization would be lucky to have her on their team.

I love how Melanie goes above and beyond for her clients. When I asked for help with my resume and interview guidance, she really helped pull out all of my experience and really empowered me in my career transition. Even after our call, she helps me with any follow up questions. Fast forward to today, I’ve landed my dream role as Sales & Event PM for MILK! I highly recommend her services to anyone!!!!
Katie C. - Director of Operations, DailyMode Studio
Melanie provided Freelance Project Management consulting work for DailyMode Studio, while I was the Operations Manager there. She was fabulous to work with in every way! Always prepared, collaborative, curious, and instinctual. She takes the time to listen, learn and really understand the whole of a business so as to provide the best overall support. I would work with Melanie again in a heartbeat!
Victoria A. - Founder, Victorious Counseling
When I felt God calling me to start a podcast, I had so many questions. I had the vision but had no idea how I would get there. I looked into Mel's project management planning sessions, and it was exactly what I needed. Working with Mel was one of the best decisions I could have made in my early stages of planning! She was thoughtful, creative, gave feedback and asked me hard questions that helped me further mold my idea into a clearer picture. I had so many doubts and hesitations, but after my power hour session, I was left feeling motivated, empowered, and inspired to execute the vision that God gave me. Thanks to Mel, I got a step-by-step guide of how I should proceed in executing my Podcast, and am so excited that my vision has come to life!
Jakeyla C. - Founder, Jacks & Jules Stationary
Melanie's support throughout our business journey was truly exceptional. From the outset, we presented her with our vision and a demanding deadline, and she seamlessly handled the rest. Melanie not only provided invaluable resources and guidance but also kept us motivated every step of the way. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that everything stayed on track, and her regular meetings kept everyone aligned. Despite the tight timeline, Melanie orchestrated everything with remarkable efficiency, enabling us to achieve our milestone in record time. We owe a great deal of our success to Melanie's expertise and dedication. She's truly amazing! I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone seeking top-notch support for their endeavors.
Tanay A. - From Big 4 Mgmt Consultant to Marriage & Family Therapist
After 10 years as a business management consultant for one of the Big 4 firms—leading multi-million-dollar people initiatives for agencies like DHS, USCIS, and the CDC—I felt called to serve people in a different way. I knew I wanted to pivot into Marriage and Family Therapy, but with no direct experience, I wasn’t sure how to make it happen.
That’s when I reached out to Melanie. She helped me see that everything I needed was already in my story—I just needed the right strategy to communicate it. She connected the dots between my consulting background, volunteer work, personal experiences, and passions, and helped me build a compelling narrative that truly reflected my purpose.
Thanks to her coaching, I was accepted into one of the top Marriage and Family Therapy programs in the country. Today, I’m officially a Marriage and Family Therapist and actively working with nonprofits to support counseling and mental health initiatives in my community.
Melanie didn’t just help me make a career change—she helped me walk into my calling with clarity and confidence. If you're feeling stuck or unsure how to pivot into the work you're meant to do, she’s the coach you need in your corner.
Jai W. - Chief of Staff
Melanie is a multifaceted expert in project management, career strategy, and execution. She seamlessly stepped in to manage my wedding and bridal shower on a tight timeline, coordinating vendors, handling payments, and ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Her detailed event and project plans kept us on track, on budget, and stress-free. On the big day, she managed escalations and logistics so I could fully enjoy the moment.
After seeing her expertise firsthand, I turned to her for career coaching after being laid off from a company where I worked for 20 years. She helped me reposition my experience, crafted multiple versions of my resume, and provided ongoing coaching—leading to a six-figure role at a top four accounting firm within months. If you're looking for someone who can bring structure, strategy, and results to any project or career move, I highly recommend working with Melanie!
Jasmine D. - Lifestyle Influencer & Marketing Professional
The Strategic Planning session was phenomenal! My brain was all over the place before the call, but you helped me make sense of everything. I walked away with a plethora of action items! I also really like that there’s a recording of the call sent afterward, and the support and help don’t just stop after that. You make yourself available to your clients WHILE they’re executing the plan & I find that extremely valuable!
Aaqila H.
“Working with Melanie was indeed a game-changer for me. Her career coaching session was incredibly impactful, giving me the clarity and confidence I needed to take the steps in my career pivot to project management. She can listen, assess, and provide thoughtful, tailored guidance that speaks directly to your goals.
I'm beyond grateful for her attention to detail and personalized approach to our session. I walked away feeling motivated and with a clear, actionable plan for moving forward. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain or need expert career guidance, Melanie will help you navigate your path.
Thank you again, Melanie, for your insight, support, and encouragement—I couldn't have asked for a better coach!”
Aisha C. - Event Planner
Melanie was a breath of fresh air! I spoke with her a few days before my first interview of the year during a power session. I am transitioning into Project Management from another industry and I knew Melanie would be the best person to prep me for some really tough questions. Long story short, I got the job offer! Even though I later learned it wasn’t the role for me, I was able to use the information she sent me and her advice for my next interview, and I knocked it out the park!

“Transitioning out of full time entrepreneurship to corporate Project Management seemed like an impossible task, until I met Melanie. In 60 minutes, I had a personalized step by step plan, detailed resume/LinkedIn feedback, interview prep questions, and job search strategy. The best part is she continues to make herself available even after the call. The best investment I've made in my career by far!"
