About Melanie Prohaska
When I was a kid, my favorite classes were anything to do with art - drawing, painting, & pottery. In undergrad, I took two drawing classes - not because they were part of my degree, because I wanted to have a way to express myself + still be connected to that creative part of me. Life is full of color, whether it is shades of gray or the full spectrum of the rainbow. Throughout my life, I\'ve traveled throughout the United States and abroad - experiencing different cultures + seeing how people live, fascinates me. With all these travels, I keep yearning to return to southern Utah. The colors & the feels of the landscape is something that lights up my soul.Marketing is like a artful risk, yet rewarding adventure - detailed planning of the journey to have the right execution of content, understanding that all the plans might not go as expected, and learning to adapt- no matter what the circumstance. With a concentration of Marketing for both undergraduate and graduate school, I\'ve learned that there is no one right way to market as there is a constant evolution. Thinking of Marketing as an adventure is a way to keep learning and adapting - isn\'t that what we are doing each day anyway?
