Nikola Stojcic

Nikola Stojcic graduated from UCLA in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Science in Physiological Science. Initially pre-med, Nikola eventually came to her senses and immersed herself in English courses, where she developed a love for medieval literature. Her final paper for her capstone seminar explored the depiction of religious portents across classical and early medieval works. At Villanova, she hopes to deepen her knowledge of medieval literature, with a particular interest in examining chivalric romance from a queer perspective. At the opposite end of the literary spectrum, she is interested in post-modern writers like David Foster Wallace, George Saunders, and Jennifer Egan whose works investigate loneliness and alienation in modern life.

Nikola has also received an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute in 2023. She hopes to continue writing creatively while pursuing her academic interests at Villanova.

In her free time, Nikola enjoys watching movies and walking her goldendoodle Cranberry.
