Krista Monaghan

Major: Biology/secondary education
Hometown: Gallup, N.M.

Krista Monaghan discovered ENMU on a trip with the Gallup cross country team.
 
“The people in town were really nice. They treated me like they knew me. I liked that.”
 
She continued her cross country career her first two years at Eastern, making close friends.
 
Her goal is to become a high school biology teacher and coach. While courses and labs are becoming more demanding, Krista, a junior, feels supported by her professors, who have office hours and open doors. “If you e-mail them, usually they get back to you that day.”
 
Professors like Dr. Darren Pollock visit with Krista about class ... and running two miles.
 
“If you want a school that’s personal, where they really care about your success as a student, Eastern is the place to be.”
