Melvin Mendoza
(Dover)
I’ve had quite the journey to get to the University of Delaware. I grew up on the sunny coast of California, where I earned a BA in Psychology & Social Behavior at UC Irvine and a MS in Sport & Exercise Psychology from Cal State Long Beach. I also have a MS in Counselor Education from East Carolina University.
I look forward to helping students in Dover succeed in their first couple years in college and transition to the main campus. You can reach me at melvin@udel.edu.
Stephanie Scott
(Georgetown)
Hi there! I earned my B.S. in Sport & Exercise Psychology from West Virginia University where I also completed four years of competitive swimming at the Division I level. Immediately following my undergraduate degree, I attended West Chester University where I obtained my Masters in Education in Secondary School Counseling. Originally from Berwyn, PA, I decided to seek certification for secondary counseling in both PA and DE, of which successfully landed me in southern Delaware where I spent 3 years as the College Counselor at Cape Henlopen High School.
The college experience has always been one of great significance to me and I genuinely enjoy mentoring students as they navigate through their own pathways. In my down time you can find me either venturing out on the beach with my dog, reading a novel, or just simply enjoying time with my husband, family, and friends.
