From soccer games to the Spark Driver ™ app, Melissa Monsalve goes after her goals

Melissa Monsalve’s family is her number one passion, but her home country's national soccer team comes in a very close second. Eight years have passed since she boldly immigrated to the United States, but her heart still beats "vinotinto” strong for the Venezuela national soccer team, a love shared by the whole family.

But loyalty to family and soccer isn’t the only thing she and her husband have in common; they also both deliver on the Spark Driver™ platform. Now residing in Summerville, South Carolina, they have found a way to balance their family commitments and pursue their passions as independent contractors on the platform.

Melissa is a driven individual, on and off the soccer field. When the pandemic in 2020 created a world of uncertainty, she decided to chart her own path and become an independent contractor. Being her own boss as a delivery driver on the Spark Driver platform provided her with the perfect opportunity to juggle her family obligations while earning money for bills and other goals.

A typical day for Melissa involves ensuring her children are ready for school and then completing trips on the Spark Driver app, pausing whenever necessary to attend to her family's needs. Her game plan is to be efficient as possible, while keeping safety a top priority. The app's Store Map feature has been a valuable tool in simplifying her shopping and delivery routine by helping her locate specific items requested by customers.

Whether it’s taking her sons to their practices and games or traveling to attend the 2024 Copa America international men's soccer championship, Melissa appreciates that she has the flexibility to be fully present in her family lives and complete deliveries on the Spark Driver platform when and where she wants.

Melissa's key to success lies in consistency. Together with her husband, they set daily targets to ensure they meet their earnings goals. She encourages other drivers to stay focused and consistent in their efforts.

Melissa's journey with the Spark Driver platform is not just about delivering packages; it is about reaching the goal of a better life for her family. Her journey reflects her passion, as well as the challenges and victories she has achieved along the way. Like a true soccer enthusiast, Melissa embodies the spirit of the game. Her story showcases the opportunities that the Spark Driver platform presents and serves as an inspiration to others looking for a way to balance their responsibilities while pursuing their dreams.
