Air Force Veteran Joins Prominent Haddonfield Real Estate Agency
The Californer/10126572

HADDONFIELD, N.J. - Californer -- Melissa Bernardin grew up in Glen Falls, NY. She graduated from Glans Falls High School and then later, graduated college at University of Texas.

Melissa was in the Air Force for 20+ years and served all over the world. In the Air Force, she was deployed to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Afghanistan. While at Dover Air Force Base, a/k/a Dover AFB which is a United States Air Force base under the operational control of the Air Mobility Command (AMC), located 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the city of Dover, Delaware, she had the privilege of doing a special duty assignment in the protocol office.  Ms. Bernardin was part of the team to bring our Country's fallen heroes back to the United States. As her last assignment in the military, Ms. Bernardin led a team of 25 personnel helping combine both an Air Force and Army base, one of the first ever joint bases in the United States.

Today, Melissa Bernardin is serving South Jersey as a Full Time Realtor at AM Realty Advisors based out of Haddonfield NJ. Since Ms. Bernardin has lived all over the world and moved countless times (she has lived in Europe (Germany) and the United States (NM, DE, NJ, TX and AK)), she is intimately accustomed with the buying/selling and moving process, which can be stressful and nerve-wracking for most people, but not Melissa! Melissa was an Environmental Engineer in the Air Force so she knows a thing or two about real property.
