Melissa Tolley Nink

Melissa Tolley Nink is a fairly new member of academia. She attended Agnes Scott College (c/o 2008) for a Bachelor's in Mathematics with a minor in Economics, and then went on to earn her Master's and Ph.D in Mathematics at North Carolina State University (c/o 2010 and 2013). From there she has been fortunate to work at Wingate University where she teaches the spectrum of mathematics classes, as well as a few business classes.

Melissa became interested in math at age five when her dad would teach her about trigonometry at the coffee table. From there, her love and understanding of the subject continued to grow. In undergrad she began tutoring and fell in love with helping others learn and understand the subject, especially those "a-ha!" moments. This was solidified in graduate school when she began teaching and found her true passion was being in front of a classroom sharing math with others.
