Tanaj Mogase is thrilled to be part of the UMBC TRIO Educational Talent Search team! She is dedicated to helping students navigate and excel in their educational goals beyond high school. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, she learned firsthand from her parents, who were first-generation college students, how crucial a good education is. Ms. Mogase later earned a Bachelor’s degree in biology and obtained her teacher certification. For over 15 years, she has taught high school science to students within the Baltimore County Public School System and overseas in South Africa. Now, as academic coordinator she is encouraged to keep the momentum going and continue empowering middle and high school students on their academic journeys.
