Horan
Absecon, New Jersey
I serve Stockton University as Tutoring Center Coordinator for Graduate and First-Year Student Support and Atlantic City Projects. In this capacity, I teach in General Studies (mainly first-year writing), coordinate tutoring for graduate students and at satellite campuses, and train undergraduate writing tutors. In my spare time, I can be found reading, admiring my cats Jimmie and Meeka, and talking to my houseplants.
