About Melissa

Melissa’s career has always been focused on Customer Success and helping others find that “Ah-Ha” moment, where they realize that they’ve found exactly what they are looking for and can’t imagine living without it. Melissa joined the senior living industry after her and her family struggled with finding the best care for her father who suffered from Alzheimer’s. Her passion will help you with not just the end goal, but rather the complete journey.

What I'm passionate about:

Greatest passion is my husband and daughter (and a few furry kids). I love watching my daughter play volleyball competitively and in college. My husband and I love spending time outdoors and being active.

A Note From Melissa

"I am passionate about helping families navigate and discover all the options available to them. I can appreciate how overwhelming finding the right care can be, so my goal is to help make the process as smooth as possible for you and your loved ones. Regardless of the industry, one of the biggest things I learned along the way was the importance of seeing things through the lens of the customer; I apply this filter to everything I do."
