From a young age Melissa Hyles knew that she would one day join her father’s business, Oak Tree Financial Services, in Rancho Cucamonga. Unfortunately, his death cut short their time building the business together and thrust Melissa into leadership much earlier than she had expected. An entrepreneur by nature, Melissa quickly grabbed the reigns and guided her younger brothers and the business to greater success.

On this episode of Start Small, Dream BIG, Melissa discusses her early entrepreneurial endeavors, her plans for growing Oak Tree, and her parents’ multigenerational American Dream story that began when they immigrated from Guyana and which she carries forward today.
