Meet Angie Gasero

Angie Gasero is the Office Manager for the Sigma Tau Delta Central Office and has just celebrated her one-year anniversary in this position. She was formerly the Office Manager and Graduate Programs Secretary in the Department of English at Northern Illinois University. English has always been her favorite subject. She loves to read, but rarely has time. She’s been a diehard Cubs fan since she was a kid and went downtown to celebrate when they won the world series in 2016. She has family in Pisa, Italy, and would really like to live there part-time when she retires.
