In the Community
Melissa is proud to call St. Louis home, but her heart truly thrives in the quieter pace of rural life. As a country girl at heart, she finds peace and fulfillment in escaping to her family’s farms as often as she can. Outside of work, her daughter and loving partner are the center of her world, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. When she is not with family or working, you will likely find her practicing yoga or enjoying the serenity that nature brings. It’s this balance of fast-paced city life and rural tranquility that grounds her and shapes both her personal and professional life.
