Melissa
Wilkinson-Ritter
Most of my experience is in the research and program evaluation field where I have participated in the evaluations of a variety of health and community programs. This involves adapting and creating evaluation tools, writing technical reports, and presenting findings locally and nationally. I currently oversee multiple evaluation projects that are state and federally-funded. I also have experience in training and teaching which involved creating my own lesson plans and presentations and presenting material in an understanding way to my audience. I have also provided social services and performed psychosocial assessments, which included one-on-one interactions as well as giving psychosocial educational groups. All these experiences were coupled with program management and supervising other employees and students. Below is a keyword summary of my skills and qualifications.
