Maryellen Novak

Maryellen has more than twelve years’ experience in marketing, content development, and client relations. She's designed/executed integrated campaigns for numerous industries ranging from software manufacturing to graduate-level education. She's also been directly responsible for creating and re-organizing customer programs and events – such as advisory councils, user groups, online communities, and microsites.

She is currently a student of the SPS MS in Strategic Communication - San Francisco program and thoroughly enjoys the cohort, instructors, and especially the courses. In May 2016 Maryellen graduated from the SPS MS in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution program. She's happy to show off her diploma for proof, but better yet check her out in the NBC Nightly News "Commencement 2016 Annual Salute to the Year's Graduating Class" (advance to minute 3:28), http://nbcnews.to/1r68YNt. 

Maryellen lives in Washington Heights near Fort Tryon with two amazing, Russian Blue cats: Annie and Franco. She's also a very active member of a few social justice organizations throughout the NYC area.
