Academics were the “way out” for Dr. Marcella Wilson who was the first in her family to receive a Ph.D.  Her academic success has allowed her to travel and meet wonderful people. But it wasn’t always that way.  After graduating from college, Dr. Wilson was educated but not tech savvy.   Dr. Marcella Wilson quickly realized that even though she had a bachelor’s degree, her career needed a boost. She was stuck in a high-stress, dead-end job at a call center. Marcella quickly realized that learning technology could advance her career options dramatically.

Determined not to be stuck in a dead-end job, Marcella turned her despair into action. She enrolled in a graduate program and was mentored by numerous successful women throughout her educational career. Today, as America’s Tech Expert, Dr. Wilson has taught numerous undergraduate and graduate classes on computer science and information technology. She speaks at national conferences, has published research and runs a successful consulting firm. But most importantly, she teaches people how to incorporate technology into their skills to help them find their dream job.
