About Me

My name is Melissa and I live in the woods of Maine (think dead-end, dirt road) on a beautiful lake. Like several others in the class, I'm working on my second Bachelor's, my first was in Business Administration, I also have an Associate's in Business. I'm currently enrolled in the Software Technology degree program here at UAGC.

In my free time I love anything to do with the water and can be found out on the lake in my kayak in nice weather. I also play tournament pool in the TAP League twice a week, both 8 & 9-Ball.

I've worked at the same international non-profit company for 22 years now in a variety of roles. My first 10 years were on the business end and then I switched over to software training. For the last 5 years I've been in the IT department designing fundraising websites for all of the events we put on across the country. I also do consulting work (training) on the side for other companies. The only code I write is HTML and CSS, so I have my work cut out for me!

I'm really interested in software and app development. I've always joked at work about designing our ideal software since we have so many hacks and work-arounds in the software we use because it doesn't quite do what we want/need it to do.
