About Jolan: I have been teaching college-level English since 2003 and started teaching online in 2008. In 2017, I joined Walden as a contributing faculty member. I earned my MA in English at Youngstown State University, my MAT in Secondary Teaching from Kaplan University, my MEd in Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University, and my MA in Interdisciplinary Studies (History, Political Science, and Writing) from Western New Mexico University. Presently, I work as an at-risk teacher, online learning coordinator, and new educator mentor for a public school district.
