Julie Moore
Writing Center Director
Associate Professor, Language and Literature
I am a writer who loves to teach writing and help other writers develop their skills. I'm also committed to making Cedarville University's Writing Center top notch and thus regularly participate in writing center conferences, where I both learn from professionals across the world and conduct presentations about the many innovative approaches we've developed here. I'm a charter member of the Ohio Writing Center Consortium, and I've published work in the peer reviewed, widely circulated Writing Lab Newsletter. I'm also a poet who's published two books and many poems in literary venues across the U.S. I bring all this experience and expertise to the writing center here, and I enjoy working with the students, faculty, and staff who visit. Stop by soon—I'd love to meet you!
Jihan Bok
Senior, AYALA Major
Hey there. I'm an English education major with a minor in creative writing, and I hail from the land of Singapore where the snow does not fall and chewing gum is punishable by death. On some occasions I abstain from societal interaction and read lengthy novels that make no sense to me; on other days, I dabble in cryptic poetry and attempt to write fiction in hopes of becoming a famous author without suicidal tendencies. One day I'd like to meet Neil Gaiman and Hugh Jackman, but in the meantime i aspire to meet other interesting people, so drop by the writing center and argue with me about your thoughts, essays and ideals. It'll be fun.
Grace Campbell
Junior, Technical and Professional Communications Major
Hi! I'm Grace, and I'm a Technical and Professional Communications major with a literature minor. I also run cross country and track here. In addition to running, I enjoy reading almost anything, writing poetry, and watching Masterpiece Theatre. I have a passion for helping people with any kind of writing, so come see me anytime!
Abby Cline
Junior, AYALA Major
Well, hello! My name is Abby Cline, and I'm an English Ed major. That's right: I am willingly planning to spend my time with high schoolers discussing literature, appreciating different cultures, and enjoying writing. I'm a not-so-closeted theatre fanatic, with a soft spot in my heart for Shakespeare and all who model him. Someday I hope to use my French minor by travelling to France itself or maybe to an African nation that still uses un peu français. Meanwhile, I would absolutely love to chat with you about any and all writing endeavors, English or French, nearly-perfect or barely-started. And yes, I did survive Literary Analysis, so I can commiserate and collaborate in that area, too. Hope to see you in the Writing Center!
Rachel Dark
Junior, English Major
Well, hello there! I am a history buff, a published author, a M.o.M.M. veteran, and an English major with a minor in editing and publishing. In my spare time, I enjoy watching period dramas, reading almost anything available (yes, even the dictionary!), and exploring the many Civil War battlefields scattered throughout my home state of Virginia. I love musing over new ideas and meeting a wide variety of people, so feel free to drop by to talk about whatever paper you may be working on. I'm excited to meet you!
Elizabeth Dossett
Junior, Technical and Professional Communication Major
Hi there! I'm Elizabeth, and I'm a Technical and Professional Communication major. In addition to working as a consultant at the Writing Center, I also work as a Teacher's Assistant for the online class Style and Mechanics for Writers. If you need help with those tricky nominalizations, I'd love to help you! I also love to play Ultimate Frisbee, I laugh often and sometimes uncontrollably, and I can't chew apples quietly. I'm excited to journey alongside you as you develop your writing abilities, and I can't wait to hear your essays and learn more about the topics you're writing about!
Cora Gray
Senior, English Major
Hey there! I am an English major with minors in Editing and Spanish. I am also a survivor of the Honors minor (so bring those M.o.M.M. essays). I enjoy listening to radio dramas, playing games like Clue and Dutch Blitz, and dabbling in baking. I look forward to thinking creatively with you and helping you develop your writing skills.
Rose Harvard
Junior, Technical and Professional Communication Major
I'm a TPC major. I enjoy studying fish, particularly sharks, and my favorite bug is the Asian Lady Beetle. I wish to live in Alaska someday, or at least someplace where snow falls much more frequently and in greater amounts. I look forward to working with you on your writing!
Cassie Herbert
Junior, AYALA Major
I'm an English Education major. My hope is to use literature as a medium to impact the lives of high school students, possibly in impoverished or inner city settings. I enjoy learning new things and would love to work, chat, and laugh with you. I am a chai tea drinker, love fast food, and have survived Lit Analysis! I look forward to having some chill but productive sessions, so come see me anytime.
Jessica Lagucki
Senior, Criminal Justice Major
I am Jessica Lagucki, and I'm a criminal justice major with an interest in literature and creative writing. I am a full-blooded Buckeye, but I have a friend at Michigan State, so I have to be nice to the state up north. I enjoy cooking, drinking tea, listening to British Radio (mostly Scott Mills), watching Doctor Who, and reading Tolkien. I love writing with a deep passion; therefore, I enjoy sitting in the writing center talking with fellow students about their wonderfull essays.
Michayla Lehman
Junior, English Major
Hello, all! I'm an English Major, and I have a minor in editing and publishing. When I'm not surrounded by spiral-bound notebooks, purple pens, and dramatic novels, you can find me catching up on the latest cheesy plotlines at the movie theater or jamming out to the underappreciated art of country music. My goal in life is to destroy the long-held belief that you can't do anything with an English degree (which is totally untrue). My friends consider me to be a shy person, which I have to agree with because Myers-Briggs told me so. But I love writing and understand the frustration that comes with struggling to find the perfect topic, backing up flawless points, and sounding professional all at once. Come on in, let's talk!
Dani McDonald
Senior, AYALA Major
Hi! I’m Dani McDonald, and I am an English major from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have a passion for discussing literature, theology, and philosophy, but only with a cup of hot coffee in my hand. I also enjoy taking personality tests, doing crossword puzzles, drinking or eating anything mint flavored, spending hours in Goodwill, and running away to Yellow Springs whenever possible. So, feel free to come in and we can brainstorm big ideas for your paper, turn your thoughts into literary masterpieces, or sit and swap sob stories from Lit Analysis.
Ashley Moore
Junior, History/Political Science and Spanish Majors
My name is Ashley, and I'm majoring in Spanish and history/politcal science, as well as minoring in the Honors Program (having survived all those M.o.M.M. readings and essays!). I've lived in Cedarville since birth, and some of my favorite hobbies include cheering in vain for my Cleveland teams, eavesdropping on peoples' conversations, traveling, drinking sugar free caramel frappuccinos (with whipped cream), public speaking, and asking questions. I spend a lot of time laughing, looking up at the sky, and asking the nearest person to please-kill-that-beastly-spider. It's always a privilege to talk to my peers about their papers in a comfortable, no-pressure (and often chocolate-filled) setting, so feel free to drop by and see me soon!
John Michael Mumme
Senior, English and Technical and Professional Communication Majors
Howdy, ya'll! Yes, I am from San Antonio, Texas, but have no accent. Don't worry, I speak English as well as you do. Now for the name--yes, I do go by John Michael and my last name is pronounced like the dead Ancient-Egyptian guys. I am double majoring in English and Technical and Professional Communication. I love reading (especially fiction), writing, watching and reviewing films, blogging, and talking about how culture and entertainment interact. I also love the Dallas Cowboys--try not to hold it against me. I'm excited to read and discuss your writing assignments with you!
Chelsea Musser
Junior, Psychology Major
Hi! My name is Chelsea Musser, and I am a psychology major from the small town of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. After Cedarville, I hope to become a licensed professional counselor, helping people learn how to live healthy, God-filled lives. I love using my talent of dance to glorify God on campus through the dance orgs, EOP and AYO. I also enjoy spontaneous adventures, especially when they involve the mountains, road trips, and chocolate. I love discussing and analyzing different topics, and look forward to hearing your insightful thoughts and ideas.
Kelsey Newman
Junior, Finance Major
I'm Kelsey, and I'm studying Finance and French. I live in rural New Hampshire on the same street where little-known President Franklin Pierce grew up in the 1800s. For these and other reasons, my friends have labeled me "colonial," but I try to surprise them with my varied and ever-changing interests. Among other things, I enjoy the ocean at night, chai tea with soy milk, street fairs, crossword puzzles, late night discussions, and early morning runs. Writing has always been a passion of mine, one that developed almost before I could hold a pen, and one that I would be delighted to share with you. I would love to work with you with on any writing assignments, so come visit me in the Writing Center!
James Sandberg
Senior, English Major
I'm an English major with a minor in biblical Greek as well as an ardent fan of '60s and '70s rock music with particular emphases on Dylan and the Boss. I enjoy psychological and/or philosophical discussions, so I would be delighted to brainstorm with anyone wishing to articulate profound or complex subjects. I look forward to coming alongside fellow writers during the writing process, and I will probably give preference to anyone who can name the Beatles albums in order.
Sarah Wilson
Junior, Social Work Major
Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am so excited to meet you! Some important things about me: I grew up in Guinea, West Africa, and absolutely cherish torrential thunderstorms on a tin roof and the smoky dusk right before evening falls. While I do miss Africa, I'm glad God brought me here to Cedarville where I've enjoyed being in the honors program, planning events for my orgs, and proving to myself that I can survive an Ohio winter. I'm also passionate about writing, and I can't wait to get to know you while conversing about your writing projects!
