Language and Literacy as Lens for Learning (RE219S)

Mentor Biography

I am from Monmouth County, NJ, a graduate of Loyola class of 2008 and have worked for the university since 2009. I am now in graduate school at Loyola, hoping to finish my master’s next spring. In my current position at Loyola I don’t frequently have the opportunity to work with students, so I am looking forward to Messina in the fall.
