Hey, I’m Melissa

…and I believe that meetings shouldn’t be boring, confusing, or a waste of time.

I started as an engineer, but I quickly realized that humans are way more complicated than machines (and way harder to debug!).

That’s why I founded Authentic Facilitation—to help teams get unstuck, work smarter, and actually enjoy their meetings.

 Why work with me?

  • I know how to guide discussions that actually go somewhere.

  • I use doodles & structured frameworks to make ideas click.

  • No awkward silences, no wasted time—just real results.
