Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a nontraditional student working full time as a social media moderator. I’ve been working on an associates degree in Marketing Management for a few years now. In my free time I am raising three boys and enjoy spending time with my husband.

We recently purchased a travel trailer and spent the summer on a long adventure to the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. I enjoy nature walks and photo documenting all of our travels.

I have worked with the marketing team off and on with projects in my current role with my employer. Beyond that, I have taken a social media marketing class and worked with the Cub Scouts to try and create more of an online presence. It was a short class, but I gained a lot of knowledge from it and plan to use it if I’m needed for any additional marketing projects at work. I’d like to learn what different types of marketing jobs are available today and what I can do to stand out from the crowd and elevate my resume.

    Wonderful to have you in class again, Melissa! Those 8 week courses go by waaaayyyy too fast.

    Hi Melissa,
    I think it’s awesome that you are a non-traditional student. I have been taking classes for what seems to be a long long time;similar to your situation, I was busy with a full time job ‘around’ social media, but not ‘doing’ social media and I was busy enjoying life with my 4 kids, 3 dogs and 1 husband.

    Great to have someone similar to me in class.
