| Brief Bio: | ||
| Tina D'Onofrio, a native Ohioan, obtained her undergraduate degree in International Relations with a second major in Spanish from Cleveland State University in 2001. She also received her Master's degree in Spanish Culture from CSU in 2004. Her teaching interests include both Spanish and Italian languages, literatures and cultures. Before becoming a full-time faculty member of Cleveland State University, Tina Marie worked with the University Studies Program at CSU, as well as with the Academic Testing Services, and was a substitute teacher at the local High Schools. Beyond this she also has been actively involved in programs on campus as well as within the community with groups like Latinos Unidos and the Cleveland Council on World Affairs. A few of the CSU programs of interest have included work with the Upward Bound Program.
Within the community, Tina Marie D'Onofrio has been involved in programs that not only focus on the Hispanic community, but is also within the Italian community. She has attended many conferences and presented many topics that surround her research interests and goals. In her research she strives to capture the community by displaying how writers and artists work as social and political "mobilizers" for lesser heard voices of Latin America. She would also like to take her work into the peninsular realm of Spanish and also branch into Italian social issues. Her concentration of late however mostly focuses on her teaching and the importance of language acquisition among students of Spanish and Italian. Tina Marie D'Onofrio loves to travel, and frequently travels to Mexico, as well as Italy, and Spain. | ||
