Melissa joined the 7&4 News Team in August 2007. She's originally from the Detroit area but is thrilled to be living in Michigan's majestic north.
Prior to moving north, Melissa worked at WLNS Channel 6 News in Lansing where she was an editor for the morning news show and reported on Mid-Michigan traffic as well as local and breaking news stories. While working in the capitol city, she worked the overnight shift so is quite relieved to head into work during the daylight hours.
Melissa is a graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in Journalism and Public Relations. During her time at Michigan State Melissa reported, anchored and helped to produce the campus television news magazine, Focal Point. Although she is far from Spartan Country, she will forever call East Lansing home and continues to cheer on the Spartans.
Now making her new home in Traverse City, she looks forward to the endless beaches, golf courses and beautiful community that the area has to offer.
