Melissa Ripp
Melissa Ripp is a native of Door County and, after graduating from college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, decided to come back to the place she grew up. The county hasn’t been the same since.

When she’s not under deadline, you can find her cruising the county in her green Element, waiting tables at the Mission Grille in Sister Bay, or traveling to far-flung places such as Madison, Milwaukee, and Portland.
