DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Melanie Froh
Melanie Froh is a third-year student at the University of Texas School of Law. She has a BA in English from the University of Victoria, British Columbia and a Paralegal Certificate from Texas State University. She took the circuitous route to law school, working for more than a decade until an impulsive LSAT registration changed the course of her career. Much of her experience is at the intersection of law and technology: implementing software for legal teams, tackling legal issues for technology companies, and developing and managing compliance programs. Melanie’s goal as Development Director is to bridge the gap between Austin’s tech law community and the talented students of Texas Law.
