While working for the MSU Writing Center, I had the opportunity to be part of the Content Team. I wrote two blog pieces, “Why Write an Outline? Why not!” and the “Gender Neutral They.” You can now see my piece about the gender neutral they up on the Writing Center’s website here! As a writer […]
I recently finished a large collaborative project to produce revised versions of student workbooks for Joe Wojcik, a motivational speaker who tours schools as Joe the Biker to help stop bullying. The workbooks were definitely a multimedia project for me. Not only did I edit the text and do some collaborative developmental editing, but I […]
First and foremost, I am a writer. I’ve wanted to be a teller of stories for as long as I can remember, and creative writing is my biggest creative outlet.

I worked on a team to develop promotional text that would accompany conference materials for the CCDP (Computers and Composition Digital Press). I really enjoyed working collaboratively on this project, and even though I wasn’t responsible for the design work, I loved watching my teammate’s designs come together based on our feedback. Collaborative work is […]

Personally, I believe that all parts of the writing process should cater to the writer’s needs and should never be set in stone. As a Writing Center consultant, I spend much of my time suggested that students write an outline before they dive into their paper. This is a piece written specifically for the MSU […]
Helping others bring their writing from a rough draft to a polished piece has always been my favorite part about editing. The client, a community college student, wanted not only a heavy copyedit, but also developmental assistance. All of these edits were made in under two hours, as requested. The client really appreciated my work, […]
Grammar is my daily bread and butter when I write or edit, but doesn’t play a role in my design as often. When I received the task to redesign an grammar course flyer for my design internship at MSU, I was super excited. Grammar isn’t usually considered a very interesting subject, so I wanted to […]
