Melissa Dellman

Melissa Dellman is a network account executive at SDN Communications, working with existing customers and developing relationships with new clients. She joined SDN in April 2023.

Dellman is a lifelong Sioux Falls resident who graduated from Sioux Falls Lincoln High School and earned a degree in education at the University of South Dakota. She spent six years as a teacher in the Tea Area School District.

It’s an admittedly unconventional career path, but she says her experience as a teacher will serve her well on the SDN Communications team as she develops relationships with customers and helps educate them on SDN’s services and offerings.

"I know that being a teacher improved my communication," she said. "I know that I can relay information to people and understand (their situations better), having that piece of empathy."

Financial expert Dave Ramsey advises his listeners to find salespeople who have "the heart of a teacher." Dellman is the perfect person for that job at SDN.

When she’s not at SDN Communications, you will find her and her significant other, Jordan, on their acreage tending to their garden and raising feeder cattle.

Dellman is active in the community as a part of the LSS mentoring program, a volunteer diplomat with the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Sioux Falls and a Junior Achievement volunteer.
