Melissa McCullough

Native Philadelphian and 9-time Rocky step runner Melissa McCullough moved to Australia in 2006 after marrying her husband, Cameron.

Despite having a degree in Media Communications from Temple University in the United States, she never had the opportunity to work in that field, but was always driven toward journalism and advertising. Soon after arriving on the Peninsula she and Cameron delved into the world of newspaper publishing. 

As Mornington Peninsula News Group Advertising Manager, Melissa oversees the advertising content of the paper by meeting with customers and often designing their ads.

Becoming a mother has led to Melissa spending less time in the office. She currently works from home but is happy to talk with customers about their advertising needs from the comfort of her sofa.
