New Scholar Spotlight

Dr. Monique Sosnowski is an up-and-coming scholar. Monique graduated just over a year ago from John Jay College of Criminal Justice CUNY. She currently works at Farmingdale State College SUNY. Right now, her research focuses on various aspects of legal and illegal wildlife trade. She appreciates the support of other scholars in the field, fostering her love for her research.

As a new scholar, she has some advice for students entering the job market. According to Dr. Sosnowski, students should apply for as much as possible. Don’t be shy – the worst that can happen is you get a “no”; the best is that you get a position, or that grant, or whatever else it may be. There are many ways students can market themselves. Dr. Sosnowski focused on her methodological skills and unique topical contribution to the field of criminal justice. For Dr. Sosnowski, “it was exciting” to finally switch from a student to a professor and start her career.
