Dr. Rodrigues joined BeMo because of her long-standing belief that everyone deserves a fair chance to attend higher education. She is a first-generation scholar and was fortunate enough to receive guidance from an expert writer and an experienced graduate student who provided feedback during the application. Since then, she has been seeking opportunities to support her community of future scholars and professionals by coaching students on effective communication strategies. Like you, she keeps learning and thrives on the idea of making the seemingly unattainable a reality.

About Me

Dr. Monyka L. Rodrigues earned her PhD in Education from Concordia University, specializing in print exposure and the effects of context on reading processes. In her doctoral thesis, she examined how the brain processes words in and out of context—think words within the context of a story versus words in a list. This provided insights into the effects of self-teaching on the formation of orthographic representations in memory. Dr. Rodrigues’s work is published in various peer-review journals and has presented at several developmental and reading conferences. During her graduate career, she won several national and university-level scholarships and awards for her research across two provinces, including SSHRC and MITACS. Beyond research, she tutors inferential statistics and has taught over 300 undergraduate and graduate students as a course instructor, teaching assistant, and thesis mentor.
