Melissa joined the team as a Paralegal in September 2020.
After a lengthy career in business development and marketing for the consumer products industry in Toronto, Melissa felt her real calling was taking her down a new career path in beautiful British Columbia, so she moved to Vancouver and obtained her Paralegal diploma in 2014. Over the next 6 years, Melissa cultivated her legal expertise at a large tax law firm in downtown Vancouver, covering various areas of law including business law, estate planning, and of course, tax.
Melissa’s work at Sequoia Legal LLP includes joint venture incorporations, various client collaborations, drafting and proofing legal documentation, and maintenance of corporate records for multiple BC companies.
In her spare time, you will find Melissa in the wilderness! Melissa is an avid trail runner, hiker and backpacker, and loves nothing more than camping off the grid and being one with nature. Melissa is also a volunteer member with Metchosin Search & Rescue.
