Melissa is a self-proclaimed life-long learner whose academic background is in student development theory. Within the higher education community she has worked not only in technology and administration but also in career counseling, academic advising, and student-alumni programming.
Previous to her work at the University of Minnesota, Melissa worked for Iowa State University and Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton NJ. Her research interests include: educational technology, technology adoption by faculty, student services technologies and distributed learning. She is also interested in VoIP and instant messaging.
