Melchionne is very pleased to be joining the IVLA and looks forward to working with our team to communicate all the IVLA has to offer to our members. She is busy brainstorming ideas for a series on visual literacy facts and spotlights on our community members.
Melchionne enjoys spending time with her family and friends on the Jersey Shore. She also enjoys all things Italy; the culture, the food, and the language. If you’d like to get in touch, follow her on Instagram at @lauriemelchionne and Twitter at @LMelchionne.
