Aug 2021 - May 2022
At the Writing Center, I tutored students across all class years and disciplines on their writing skills, with the focus on improving the writer, not the piece of writing. I also taught workshops for classes across the curriculum on specific aspects of writing. In the Fall 2021 semester, I was a judge for the Writing Center's annual Whitesell Prize for first-year writing.
