My name is Melissa McCloud and I am in my second year as a full-time student at Johnson County Community College. I will be graduating in May with my Associate of Applied Science degree as an Administrative Professional. I am married to my best friend and we share six amazing children and a beautiful grandson.

I have spent most of my working career in retail management, so I am not a stranger to the importance that effective marketing can be to a business. I have worked for larger corporations where there has been a marketing department in charge of masterminding the marketing used and then I have been responsible for facilitating them in the store by using the tools chosen.

I only chose to take this course to fulfill the requirement for my degree, but I am looking forward to learning more about the many social media outlets that are available to me. I want to learn the how and why to best use these resources, and the benefit that the different networks can be to me both professionally and socially. This is only day one and I have already learned so much, so I’m excited to see what the next few weeks has to hold!!
