Bio
Monnica is an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.

Of particular interest is how students pay for college – through traditional financial aid, employment, and other resources – and the implications for students’ academic and long-term success.
Prior to joining UMB, Monnica was the director of policy and research at the New England Board of Higher Education.
Monnica earned her Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Program Evaluation from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
