Hi everyone, I'm Melanie, and I am now a senior at Montclair State University. I am majoring in Journalism and Digital Media and minoring in Creative Writing, both of which have aided me in enhancing my written and verbal communication skills. I am also a student worker on campus for the Undergraduate Admissions office, and would like to pursue the higher education route based on my experience. My hope is to be the helping hand to assist first time students and families heading into college/university. With my bilingual skills, I've been able to eliminate communication gaps and am looking forward to continue doing so down the line, especially for Spanish speaking families. Being a first generation Latina student, I understand the struggles students and families may be faced with and how much support they need.
