About

Melissa Rose grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. She started her first business, a marketing company, while still in college at the age of 20, and spent the next 20 years self-employed. In 2008, Melissa took her formal and informal business education, training and experience and wrote a workbook for her 12-year-old daughter to use to start her own business all by herself.  Lacking a typical entrepreneurial spirit at first, her daughter started a business, Plants, Paws and Pacifiers with two friends; the business is in its second year and she’s added two more to her portfolio:  The Browny Company and Ragz Teen Clothing Exchange.  Many other children across the country, in and out of the school setting, have started successful businesses using Biz in a Boxx.

Melissa is the Founder and President of Boxx Productions, a company that produces an interactive, independent, educational tool called Biz In A Boxx that gives kids ages 7 to 18 hands-on experience in starting and running their own business. She is driven by the knowledge that there are vital skills sets to be learned from entrepreneurship and that every American child deserves to have a brighter, productive future.

Melissa received her BA in Journalism from the University of Arizona in 1991 and her MBA in 2003.
