For Melinda, Medicare is more than just a job; it's literally in her DNA.
As the daughter of nationally recognized expert and pioneer, Diane J. Omdahl, RN, MS, Medicare was always a topic of conversation at the dinner table.

She's known for passionately empowering today’s seniors, their families, and their professional advisors with unbiased, expert Medicare guidance.
When she's not sharing her expertise in one-on-one consultations, Melinda is a captivating Medicare speaker lauded for her presentations at conference for Charles Schwab, Edward Jones, Raymond James, Axtella, LPL, Osaic, Allstate, Protective and more. Melinda was recently named the top-rated speaker for 2023 for the Financial Experts Network.
She's also frequently featured in national news publications like The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Consumer Reports, and many more.
Beyond the spotlight, Melinda consults with corporate giants like PBS and Macmillan Publishing, ensuring their teams and retirees can tap into her unmatched Medicare wisdom.
