The Host

About Melissa

Melissa’s career spans over two decades as a strategic marketer, executive director, entrepreneur and sales professional. Before taking on her current role as Executive Producer/Host of INSIDE SENIOR LIVING, she studied Business Administration at The University of Montana Western and Communications at Hamline University along with becoming a certified lifespan wellness coach. Her passion for helping seniors and their families started as a Sales Manager for Brookdale Senior Living and her own experience being the daughter of a father who had  Alzheimer’s Dementia and recently passed away after living in a memory care community.

The idea for creating Inside Senior Living was born after witnessing the isolation of older adults  during the Covid-19 pandemic coupled with her search to find quality informative, inspirational and entertaining content to share with caregivers and family members. Her mission is to bring the conversation of aging and senior living choices into mainstream culture.
