Michelle Goodman is originally from Concord, North Carolina. I’ve lived in the Tri-State for seven years.

“I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mass media communications with a minor in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

“I am the public relations specialist at Ashland Community and Technical College. I have a background in journalism and am the former managing editor of The Tribune in Ironton, Ohio.”

She started at ACTC on Jan. 2, 2017

“I think the opportunity to work at ACTC came along at the right time. I was going through some professional transitions and once I interviewed with the college, I knew it was somewhere I could feel at home.

“One of the great advantages of working at ACTC has been the opportunity to participate in various professional development workshops, which have not only helped me to be able to do my job better, but they have been fun.

“There are so many facets to this job, but in short, my job is to keep the public informed about the news, events and offerings at ACTC, whether that be in a newspaper article or social media posts.

“You can find me at most college events taking photos, which might be used on social media, in campus newsletters or sent to local newspapers.

“My favorite part about working for ACTC is being in such a positive environment. It is clear that, even in the short time I’ve been here, everyone at the college is truly invested in the students’ successes.“I feel very lucky to be a small part of that,” she said.
