  • Résumé

  • After the devastating loss of her partner to suicide at just 23, Mel was compelled to reassess her life’s purpose, leading her to an unexpected career pivot. Her story is a testament to the power of turning tragedy into triumph, as she moved from a budding career in psychology to founding an events agency. Mel reveals how her 'winner's mindset' has helped her view every challenge as a stepping stone for growth, and how understanding her own 'why'—has anchored her path, guiding her to leave every interaction making others feel better.
    Mel's experience speaks to the unpredictable nature of life's journey, illustrating how a background in psychology seamlessly integrated into running an events company. It was during a time of grief and reflection that the vibrant world of tattoo conventions became her refuge, providing solace and an unexpected career pivot. Her transition underscores the importance of community and self-expression, which has now culminated in the creation of Ego Expo—an innovative platform connecting online fashion brands with their customers. Through her story, Mel teaches us how to harness growth through adversity, realizing that purpose can be found in the most unforeseen places.
