Meet Melissa Willis
Melissa Willis has been involved in the fashion and entertainment industry for almost 30 years. She began her career as a professional model working with world renowned agencies such as Click Miami, IMG, and WhyNot Milan. Melissa has worked as a model in her hometown of New Orleans and as far away as Japan, Saipan, and Taiwan. After a successful career as a model, Melissa earned her degree in Drama and Communications from Loyola University New Orleans. She spent several years in Los Angeles pursuing a career in acting. In 1999, Melissa was approached to be a talent scout for actors and models both in the U.S. and abroad. Melissa worked for years, often in a different city every day, looking for those folks who had the potential and the desire to work in the field of entertainment. Melissa continued to work as a scout through 2007 and has since spent less time on the road and more time with her family. She still loves to travel just not 3 weeks out of the month. Today, Melissa balances her time between her family and her growing coaching and consulting business. She also continues to build her speaking business. Melissa enjoys reading, writing, networking, and going to hotworx (if you know, you know). She is a long time member of BNI and she is also a director consultant for three chapters in the New Orleans area.
