Jennie LaMonte’s Bio
I am a veteran scholar development professional who specializes in supporting young scholars as they maximize their experiences. While a former director of an international scholarship program, fellowships advisor, and teaching fellow, my current focus is to assist early-stage researchers and scholars. In addition to working with individuals, I have been a member of the education program writing teams for two successful ERCs, and the education director for an STC that made it to reverse site visit. It has been a privilege to support such strong and talented groups. I began this kind of work as an Assistant Senior Tutor at Harvard and chose this path through academia instead of pursuing a more traditional tenure-track course.
