Virginia Buccino

In 1996, I began my career at St. John's as a part-time secretary in the English Department.  A little less than a year later, I was approached by Derek Owens who informed me that he'd be opening a Writing Center on the Queens campus, and asked if I'd like a full-time secretarial position there.  Absolutely overjoyed at the prospect of a full-time position, I accepted immediately and worked alongside Derek.  I feel honored to be part of a Center that grew from a handful of tutors to a Center with almost 50 tutors.  I love working with and helping students wherever I can.  In my free time, I enjoy reading novels, cooking, walking and taking care of my three grandchildren.
