Melissa Blohm

"I completed my undergraduate work at UNI. During that time, not only did I learn how to teach academic content to children, but how to manage them, how to teach them to socialize with others, and how to work hard to achieve goals. Being that my undergraduate experience was so impactful, I knew UNI was a natural choice to complete my Master's work there as well.

During my Master's studies at UNI, I was also a graduate assistant within the Literacy Education Department. I learned how to teach, facilitate, coach, model, and mentor young adults with the help of professors from that department. All of those experiences helped me to thrive in my current role as a Literacy Consultant for Central Rivers Area Education Agency. I am out in the field daily working with Superintendents, Principals, Coaches, and Teachers with one goal in mind- helping students become responsible, productive citizens."
