Melissa has been at the AJC since March. She had spent two years at the Orlando Sentinel, where she had been promoted to senior designer. Her work revamping the Monday local section in 2006 won multiple awards from SND and earned her an Employee of the Year. She also played a big part in hosting the SND annual workshop that fall.

Previously, she was a copy editor for business, features and news stories and a designer for A1 and local sections at The Sun News of Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Melissa is a 2002 graduate of Wichita State University in Kansas, where she was editor of the student newspaper, The Sunflower.

Melissa is a regional director of the Society for News Design and keeps a Region 3 blog.
