Hi, I’m Melinda.

After interning in the hype Juicy Couture era, I quickly realized my drive to provide sales services for the fashion industry.

I started SLRsales Chicago as inspiration for my three daughters to be strong independent working women. SLR is named after them; Modeling what female empowerment looks like within the business world.

Graduating from the University of Arizona, I studied retailing and consumer sciences which gave me strong motivation and knowledge of the business side of fashion. As a true California girl moved Midwest, I later studied marketing and received a professional certification from Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management.

With over 15+ years of fashion sales and consulting, I've developed strong connections with major accounts, boutiques, specialty stores, and desirable strategic key accounts along the way. My success continues to grow with long-lasting client and vendor relationships.

My goal is to find and help build women-owned brands within the wholesale industry. Emphasizing strong sales growth, a love for fashion, and powerful female leadership.
