Melissa Shriver grew up carrying buckets around her family's farm near Ursa, Illinois...now she carries a camera and delivers you the news for KHQA-TV.
Melissa started her television career at KRCG-TV 13 in Jefferson City, Mo. and soon after that moved back home to the Tri-States to join the KHQA team as a news reporter. She enjoys reporting not only because it gives her a chance to tell interesting and compelling stories for viewers, but because reporting gives her a chance to put a human face on struggles and triumphs folks in the Tri-States encounter every day.
Since then she's joined the KHQA This Morning team as the anchor at the news desk. Melissa takes pride in bringing you the news you need to know to kick off your day.
Melissa married her high school sweetheart Adam in 2005. Since then, they've been blessed with two little girls Brinley and Brooklynn. In fact viewers like you helped name both bundles of joy with a Tri-State popular vote. People from all over the area sent in thousands of name submissions and votes to determine the best names for Melissa's children.
Outside of KHQA, Melissa has served on the Board of Directors for the Hannibal Free Clinic and Northeast Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross. She currently serves as a Director on the Adams County Fair Board. When she isn't toting a camera or serving the community, you can probably find her playing princesses with Brinley and Brooklynn, spending time with family and friends, four-wheeling or walking her dog King.
She encourages you to give her a wave or a hello if you see her out and about! She loves hearing local story ideas and loves to visit small towns, just like where she grew up.
