Jennifer Conception
Hello, my name is Jennifer Concepcion. I graduated from Nazareth Academy High School in 2008. I transferred to Holy Family in the fall semester of 2010 and am majoring in Psychology. I began working in the CAE as a Spanish and Psychology tutor. I am now working as the Administrative Assistant. I enjoy my work at the CAE and all the people whom I meet. One day, I hope to form my own organization to help those who suffer from mental illness and substance abuse. Because of the great leadership opportunity that I have received at the CAE, I know many of the skills I have learned here will help make my dream come true and be successful. If you come into the Center, feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Taylor Belser
Hey, I'm Taylor, and I'm a Biology Major with minors in Chemistry and Psychology. If you see someone carrying around a backpack that is way too big, heavy, and full of text books,it's probably me. I love learning so much that I have a slightly nerdy reluctance to part with my text books and will probably pay for it later when I end up a hunchback living in a bell tower. However, my plans after graduating are to get into medical school, so hopefully someone there will be able to straighten me out. I'm currently Co-President of the SBS club, and PR/Communications Officer of the Pre-Med club. I would love to share any of my knowledge with you; science courses can be difficult and a lot of work, but they can also be very rewarding. I'd love to help you in any way possible. I also volunteer as an EMT on the weekends and work as an ER Scribe in a hospital, so even you're feeling very panicky and overwhelmed, come in to the CAE. I'll assure you, you're not having a heart attack, we'll take some deep breaths, and then work together to master any material you're having difficulty with. I'd love to help you come to a greater understanding of your course material and succeed with your goals, so feel free to come by and talk and ask questions; if I don't know the answer, I will find it out. I look forward to meeting you!!!

Carly Cofer
I graduated from Harry S. Truman in 2004. I went to Tri-State University in Indiana for a year but felt it was not a good fit for me. I moved back to the wonderful state of Pennsylvania and began attending Bucks County Community College. I graduated from BCCC in 2009 with dual Associate Degrees in Mathematics and Mathematics Education. I transferred to Holy Family University last year to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Mathematics Education. Typically, I have found that mathematics and I are compatible, though I have always worked hard for my grades. During my time at Holy Family I have encountered some challenges in my highest level mathematics classes. I have had to be tutored myself, so I understand how complex mathematics can be. I want anyone reading this to know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. It takes a strong person to admit they need assistance and an even stronger person to ask for it.

Rafaelina Cruz
Hi! I graduated from Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in 2012. I am currently a freshman at Holy Family University, and I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Biology. I plan on attending medical school to become a dentist, and after that I may extend my learning and graduate with my PhD. This is my first year as a Spanish tutor in the Center for Academic Enhancement [CAE], and I’m finding the experience to be exciting and positive in every way. As a new tutor in the CAE I hope that I can be of assistance to other students who may be struggling with Spanish, because I understand that learning a new language can be difficult. Hopefully, I can work with my tutees and help them succeed in their Spanish studies. Also, I’m confident that my experience as tutor and student will be enriched by my interaction with my tutees!

Jared DeLeo
I graduated from Council Rock High School South in 2011, and am currently a Secondary Education/Mathematics major at Holy Family. In high school, I was a member of four honor societies, most notably the Mathematics Honor Society. Being a member of that group also meant helping others with their math work. I was, therefore, able to see the common struggles and needs of students when it comes to mathematics. In addition to my commitment to tutoring, I have developed a love for math. One who loves a subject can truly understand and explain its difficult concepts and ideas. I do, though, have interests other then numbers! I particularly enjoy the creative efforts of film and video. My favorite TV series of all time has to be LOST. Anything that stimulates the mind and makes one think outside the box is fantastic; I find the same attraction to the movie Inception. The bottom line here is that I hope to see many friendly faces at the CAE, so drop by anytime to get some help, or simply say hi!

Rachel Dillinger
Hi! I graduated from Phoenixville Area High School in 2010, and am a member of the soccer and track & field teams here at Holy Family. Athletics is a huge part of my life, but I also devote a lot of time to academics. I'm a Psychobiology major with Chemistry minor. I obviously like science, but I also know that it can be a very daunting subject. I love helping other people understand it better and excel in their classes. Feel free to schedule an appointment with me or one of the other awesome CAE science tutors!

Kellie Gadaleta
I graduated from Villa Joseph Marie High School in 2008. I spent some of my best years at Villa and made amazing and lifelong friends. I began my college experience at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Then, in the spring of 2010, I decided to transfer to Holy Family. I am majoring in English for Secondary Education, and would love to teach American literature to high school students. I am a reading/writing tutor at the CAE, and it would be my pleasure to help you with any critical reading and writing woes you may have. I am here to help you with questions and concerns, and it is my goal to bring out the best writer you can be! I love to read, write, and listen to any kind of music. My favorite book is Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, but I also love Harry Potter! Please feel free to stop by the CAE to make an appointment with me ~~ I will do my best to help ease your writing worries!

Sheridan Goodwill
Hello, my name is Sheridan Goodwill. I graduated from Pennsbury High School in 2010 and have been a part of Holy Family University ever since! I am pursuing a degree in Mathematics, Secondary Education, and my goal is to teach math at Pennsbury High School. I am a math tutor at the University Center for Academic Enhancement [CAE] and have consistently found the experience to be very rewarding. I am also part of Pigers, the HFU math club, where I hold the position of Treasurer. Working at the CAE has only made me reaffirm my belief that being a teacher is truly the career path for me! Helping others succeed at something as complex as mathematics is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I know math can be a challenge, but together we can make it very understandable!

Crystal Isaac
I graduated from Nazareth Academy High School in 2010. I am pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Biochemistry. I am a member of the University Environmental Club, S.A.Y.S., as well as the Fusion and Albertans Clubs. In addition to my passion for the sciences, I love the Spanish language, and so I tutor both Chemistry and Spanish in the Center for Academic Enhancement [CAE]. When I was in high school, I was a tutor for the National Honor Society – an experience that was fulfilling and which prepared me for my experiences at the CAE.

Allison Jenkins
I graduated from Interboro High School in 2010. My high school experience was amazing and really prepared me for a university level education. I began my college experience at Holy Family last year, beginning as a sophomore because of the number of credits I gained from AP courses in my high school studies. I am majoring in English Literature, and I hope to go on to study education as a graduate. Because I love reading and writing so much, I am currently employed as a writing tutor at the Center for Academic Enhancement. My passions in life are learning and teaching, so I think that peer tutoring is an excellent way to help out the university community while also preparing me for the work I hope to do in the future. My favorite book is Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut (though anything by Ernest Hemingway or JK Rowling will elicit a major conversation from me), and my favorite poem is “Song of Myself,” by Walt Whitman (though I enjoy his collection of poems "Leaves of Grass" in its entirety). Please feel free to come in and make an appointment at any time with me! I love meeting new people and I'm always here to help!

William Kane
I graduated from Archbishop Ryan High School in 2009, and I am currently a Mathematics/ Secondary Education major. I've been gifted with a number of very exceptional math teachers over the years and feel that I am rather talented in the field of mathematics. I've always also been intrigued by English language and literature, and so I tutor in both areas, although math is my primary discipline. Education is integral to my studies and career goals, and so I consider tutoring to be my first step on the path to becoming a teacher. Outside of academics, I am a member of an up-and-coming acoustic rock band. Please, do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you need help; I am always willing to lend a hand, even if it's off the clock!

Patrick Kozlecki
Hi, everyone! My name is Pat, and I graduated from Conwell-Egan in 2010. I am an English major at Holy Family and am loving every minute of it. Along with my study and tutoring responsibilities, I am very involved with the University’s drama club and hold the position of Treasurer for the 2012-2013 school year. As an English/Writing tutor, I would like to help you with any trouble that you may have with papers; for example, you may need help citing sources properly, understanding how to format a paper, making a strong argument with a thesis. I’m here for these or any other writing questions and challenges, so don't be shy!

Morgan Leh
Hi! My name is Morgan, and I am a 2011 graduate from Villa Joseph Marie High School. I am studying Psychobiology at Holy Family University, and I love combining the social sciences with the natural sciences. Currently, I am a Spanish tutor for the Center for Academic Enhancement. Although I am not a Spanish major, I have always had a passion and a natural talent for the language. In the near future, I will also be a biology tutor. I truly feel that learning is an extraordinary experience, and I am so excited to work with anyone who needs support. I love nothing more than helping people, and I am honored to be a part of the CAE. Please do to hesitate to reach out for help - I look forward to working with you!!

Erin O'Neil
I graduated from Villa Joseph Marie High School in 2010. I am currently majoring in English at Holy Family. I’m treasurer of the University Drama Club, and I’m also involved with Folio, Holy Family’s literary magazine. As a writing tutor, it is my goal to help you with any questions concerning papers, essays, or maybe a confusing homework question. Papers and other writing assignments can get stressful, especially at the college level, so I’m here to put your mind at ease and leave you with some confidence for the future. I look forward to meeting with you!

Jamie Wright
I graduated from Pennsbury High school in 2009- home of the best prom in America! Some of my fondest High School memories include being Overall Sports Nite Captain, Varsity Girls Bowling Captain, and of course, Prom!! I am currently a Nursing major at Holy Family. Along with working as a Spanish tutor at the Center for Academic Enhancement, I am a student ambassador for the Admissions Office. As a Spanish tutor, I understand learning a new language is challenging- it is for everybody! Learning Spanish (or any language) has endless benefits that can help your career and personal development. After traveling to Costa Rica in the summer of 2008, I realized how rewarding and satisfying it is to communicate effectively with native Spanish speakers! Please don’t hesitate to come to the CAE, even if you have one question! Transitioning into college studies can be tough, but we’re here to help!
