Biography:
Melissa Klassen has taught at the collegiate level since 1996. She has taught Communication courses at Boise State University, Utah Valley University, the University of Montana, and Weber State University. She also taught as a private contractor for various private and public organizations such as: the State of Idaho (various agencies) and Idaho Power. Melissa holds a Masters of Arts in Communication with special emphasis in public and organizational communication.
Melissa enjoys her role as a wife and mother of three children. She is an active volunteer in the community. Melissa feels that it is a responsibility to be civically minded and makes it a priority to stay informed and involved in community, state, national and global issues.
Melissa views communication as an ongoing, ever-changing process that can lead to great satisfaction and contentment in human beings. The lack of productive communication can lead to discontentment, loss of productivity, and unfortunately in some cases violence. Thus, communication skills are of the most critical skills to acquire in order to achieve success in the professional world, relationships, and life. Melissa enjoys the continued study that is required to teach these skills to others.
