My name is Jim Masland. Currently I am a PhD candidate in the English department. The work I focus on engages with the political and gender aspects of the 1790s in Britain. Working with students is something I've enjoyed ever since I arrived at UCLA, and I am greatly looking forward to helping students make the most of all the opportunities availbale at UCLA. Before coming to UCLA, I worked in Philadelphia doing a variety of jobs that included coaching and work at Prudential Securities. I think these job experiences gave me some sense of the world that lies beyond college. I look forward to helping students realize their goals as an undergraduate so they can do what they want once they move beyond UCLA.

Soccer, squash, and chess are my favorite sports.
