I am forever grateful for the kind, inspiring mentors I had while a graduate student at Fairfield University. I’m specifically thankful for my semester mentors:

• Lary Bloom
• Joan Connor
• Porochista Khakpour
• Kim Dana Kupperman (Also, you can read an interview I did with Kim on Mason’s Road if you’re interested)

And to Baron Wormser who was my second reader of my thesis.

But not just those five… I’m also grateful for the mentors who taught my workshops: Marita Golden, Leila Philip, and Da Chen.

I learned so much under the auspices of these incredibly talented individuals, and for that I am eternally grateful.
