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!

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.

I am a senior studying Technical and Professional Communications. I have moved 11 times, eaten ice cream with Christopher Nolan, and kissed a giraffe. I aspire to perform in Elliv, compile a poetry chapbook, be a rockin' mom, and be a mountaineering guide in Colorado.

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!

Hey, all! I'm Bekah and I'm a Senior journalism major aspiring to become a magazine writer. I currently work as the Cedars campus news editor and enjoy how that job allows me to get to know students and serve them by telling their stories. God blessed me with a passion for people, and my goal is to serve at least one person each day. I also love to make people laugh; I have terrible luck that I turn into hilarious stories-so if you step into the Writing Center to see me, I will not only help you with your paper but also make you laugh with the ridiculous tales of my awkward life. Hope to see you soon!

Yo, everyone. Aaron's the name, and it looks like I'm the only guy on staff this year in the Writing Center (you men can change that: apply here to work!). I'm a junior English major with minors in creative writing and history, which means I'll be doing a lot of reading and writing in the next two years. I love studying the English language, and I also love helping others navigate their way through the often perilous journey of turning a jumbled collection of ideas, or a very rough draft, into a paper they can be proud of. When I'm not reading or writing for classes, I write for my own pleasure. It's my goal to become both a novelist and a professor of English, and I look forward to helping you with your papers this year!

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.

Hello! I'm Rita, and I'm a senior marketing major. I enjoy reading everything from food blogs to obituaries, so please pass along recommendations for any good reading material! My family is originally from South Dakota—my great-grandfather sold the land of the capital city of Pierre for $500 and a shotgun. However, I am an Air Force brat, so the U.S. military has hauled my family across the world to Greek farming villages and German army bases. I am passionate about professional writing, so in addition to collaborating with you on essays, I would be delighted to help you polish your resume, cover letter, or executive summary.

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.

I'm a senior English Ed major and former MoMM-er with a penchant for overcommitment. I enjoy learning, sewing, reading, playing the piano, and sleeping (though it is my most neglected hobby). I spend my time pulling paper-writing, coffee-fueled all-nighters and discussing literature and spiritual growth over tea. I look forward to assisting you and probing the intellectual depths of your discipline with you through writing.

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.

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!

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!

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. Between obsessively spinning pillows on my finger and eating clementines, I greatly enjoy reading theology (but only after I've made rice). Discussions of psychology and philosophy bring elation to my otherwise mundane lifestyle, so I would be delighted to brainstorm with anyone wishing to articulate profound and 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.

I'm a senior English major with a minor in Spanish. I love applying God's truth to analyzing literature and hope to become an English professor (incessantly refilling my coffee cup like Dustin Hoffman in Stranger than Fiction!). I am an organic enthusiast, make some mean guac, and like to ferment kombucha tea. I also enjoy running and hiking, wish I could truly "play" the piano instead of "dabble in" playing, and love hanging out with my brothers. I hope you realize the potential of your writing to impact whatever field of study you are in, and I am teeming with anticipation to meet you and help you effectively communicate what you intend to say in your paper!

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!

Hey there! I'm Alexa, and I'm a senior English major who's studying at Oxford University across the pond in the fall semester and will return to Cedarville in January for my last semester. I also have minors in creative writing and theatre. I love chai lattes, war movies, E.E. Cummings, spiral staircases, and Panera tomato mozzarella paninis, but I'm not a fan of spiders, numbers, or shin splits. Fun fact: I'm Canadian, which I've been told makes me "clean, honest, and polite." I don't really know what that means either, but I do know that I have a passion for writing, discussing new ideas, and of course, helping you progress in your literary endeavors, whether simple or daunting.
