Alicia Sakers


Alicia Sakers graduated from West Chester University with a BS in Secondary Education: English Literature and a Minor in Film Criticism. After graduation, she accepted a job in the Upper Darby School District where she currently teaches ninth grade. She finds that her enthusiasm for digging deeper with texts has been well-received by her students, and hopes to bring what she will learn at Villanova into her classroom. A course called "Criminality in Nineteenth-Century American Literature" fermented Alicia's decision that graduate school was a must. While writing for that course, she particularly enjoyed looking at gender, internal and external destruction, and power within the confines of crime literature and film. She wants to continue within this area of interest in addition to broadening her options/passions while at Villanova. Alicia spends her small amount of free time binge-watching TV, reading, going to small venue concerts, and walking her lovable puppy, Pippin.
