Melissa has been part of the Westview family since 1999. After 17 years at the Farm Bureau State Headquarters, she felt a strong pull toward ministry and joined the Westview staff in December 2006. She’s been faithfully serving ever since and is part of the Admin Team.

Melissa loves mentoring young women, helping others, and spending time with her family. She earned her Business degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia - but don’t be surprised when she’s cheering loudly for K-State!

She’s all about watching sports with her husband - especially football, basketball (college and NBA), and golf. When it comes to cooking, she’s a fan of anything that comes in a bag and can be tossed in the air fryer. And when her grandkids visit, Nana’s chocolate chip cookies are always a hit! Her perfect day off? Lounging in sweats, watching movies, snacking on junk food, and catching a nap.

Melissa and her husband, John, have three grown kids.

Life Verse:
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.'" Matthew 16:24 (NLT)
