Dr. Maria Ann Noland
A recent PhD graduate, I am eager to apply my training as a social scientist to higher education teaching, administration, research, or student advising. Above all, I am passionate about science and believe in its unique role in furthering social good. As an anthropologist, I also seek to understand the experience of sense-making, how it influences individual motivation and thinking, and how it can be mobilized for ethical outcomes. I live in New York City with my Italian forever family.
