Melissa Jean-Baptiste is a first-generation Haitian American who has built a platform dedicated to helping Millennials and Gen Z restructure their relationships with money, obtain financial freedom, and build generational wealth. As the eldest daughter of immigrant parents, she had to lead by example and was determined to achieve the elusive American Dream. After four years at Adelphi University, she graduated Cum Laude with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Adolescent Education. During her 11-year tenure as a New York City high school English teacher, and adjunct professor Melissa implemented valuable shifts to her instructional design to provide her students with a modern curriculum that would be pivotal to their personal growth outside of the classroom. Melissa went on to write and produce the award-winning web series Millennial In Debt, which highlighted the overwhelming nature of navigating adulthood due to a lack of accessible financial education. As she navigated her own personal finance journey, she documented her money mistakes and lessons publicly to teach others how she paid off $102,000 in student loan debt and bought her first home on a teacher salary. As a personal finance and career development coach, Melissa’s ultimate goal is to teach her audience how to be future millionaires. With an audience of over 300,000, Melissa continues to be a financial thought leader and teacher providing fundamental financial lessons while leading crucial money conversations in a creative manner.
