July 7, 2009 - "VisionTEK, this is Melissa"
Who is the person behind that bubbly, cheery voice that answers the VisionTEK Support line and helps you with your questions and issues? That person is Melissa Robbins, VisionTEK Software Support Engineer.
Melissa Robbins has been with VisionTEK for nearly four years and we could not be more thrilled to have her as part of the support team. Melissa began her tenure at VisionTEK as a Project Software Engineer. She started by working on all of our major projects developing field-based reporting applications, server-side applications and printed reports. She quickly transitioned her skills to support and maintenance projects working on customer issues, designing and developing product enhancements and deploying software. By then, we could see Melissa’s customer skills were shining bright and she transitioned into the role of VisionTEK Software Support Engineer.
Since you all talk to her regularly and work so closely with her, we thought you would be interested in learning a bit more about the person behind the voice. To that end, we asked Melissa a few questions about herself.
