If you mixed a ray of sunshine with a breath of fresh air, sprinkled the ensuing batch of wholesome goodness with pixie dust and then wrapped it in tasteful paper with a whimsical bow, you’d have an idea of what it’s like to work with Melissa. And if you need a spreadsheet to keep track of the exact amounts of sunshine and fresh air you used, or you want to see if there’s a better source for paper or bows, she’s got that cheerfully covered.

As Point A’s Client Services and Marketing Operations Specialist, Melissa brings a can-do attitude to a fast-paced environment, ensuring that the financial heartbeat of every project synchronizes with creative timelines and client budgets. With a bachelor’s in social work from the University of Kansas and more than a decade of experience in advertising, she excels at communicating, collaborating, pivoting and changing hats, all in service of keeping projects on track.

Outside of work, Melissa is an All-Star Cheer/volleyball mom, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan and a Mexican food aficionado. She enjoys reading, watching reality TV, traveling (preferably a beach or the mountains in Colorado) and spending time with her husband, Matt, their two daughters, Natalie and Samantha, and Aspen, their beloved English Cream Golden Retriever.
