She left active-duty service in 2015, joining the Virginia National Guard and attending the University of Richmond School of Law, graduating in 2018. Melissa focused heavily on transactional and tax while in law school, completing her thesis in Tax Policy on state and local taxes. Shortly after graduating, she deployed to Iraq with the Virginia National Guard. Melissa returned in late 2019 and passed the Virginia and Maryland Bar exams in 2020. In 2021, she attended the U.S. Army Judge Advocate Basic Course in Charlottesville, Virginia, becoming a Judge Advocate in the Virginia National Guard. Melissa then deployed with the 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team to Kosovo, serving as the operational law attorney and legal assistance attorney. Melissa was also responsible for providing opinions on contract and fiscal law and ethics matters. Upon her return, Melissa revamped the Virginia National Guard estate planning services, providing improved legal services for the state’s 8,500 Soldiers.
