Melissa Bach was referred to me by one of my best friends, which turned out to be the best referral I've ever had. Melissa has been in the education/advisory field for many years, and she knows exactly what to do, who to call, what paperwork is necessary. Melissa helped my nephew attain 80-95% funding at multiple top IT schools in the nation. She is extremely organized, diligent, and makes sure everything gets done on time. In addition, Melissa really cared about my nephew. She listened to his needs and what was important to him.  Melissa was the best return on any money I have ever spent. Think of her as a solid investment in your child or loved one’s future.
