Bio
Ayana Morales, M.Ed.
Ayana Morales joined the Student Success Center in 2025 as an Academic Advisor/Success Coach. In addition to being a proud New Orleans native, Ayana is a Loyola alumna with a bachelor’s degree in English before she went on to earn her master’s degree in secondary education from the University of Florida in Gainesville.
After a brief stint teaching middle and high school Language Arts, Ayana realized while working with the Upward Bound program that she loved assisting first-generation students with the transition into college. She is especially passionate about helping all students navigate university life and making sure they both learn and enjoy as much as possible. In her free time Ayana loves reading, movies, visiting historic houses, writing really bad fanfiction, and trying every sno-ball stand in the city.
