Hello!! I am an international relations major with a minor in French on the pre-law track and I am from The Bronx, New York City. At Colgate, I am a part of the Debate Society, a peer career advisor at the Office of Career Services, and serve as a Co-President of the Black Student Union. I also perform with dance groups like Melanated and Latin American Dance. I have profound experience in public speaking and enjoy performing, hosting shows, and getting involved in plays and musicals on campus. I am very excited to help students elevate their speaking skills and be knowledgeable about their topics so they have the confidence to really capture audience attention.

Hello there! I’m a political science major with a philosophy minor, and I live 5 miles from Washington D.C. in Bethesda, Maryland. Since I hope to pursue a career in law, I have a passion for argumentative and analytical writing.

Outside of the Writing Center, I’m involved with WRCU and COVE, and I’m excited to join more organizations at Colgate. I love watching movies, collecting vinyl, following sports, and finding ways to get involved in my community. The Writing Center provides a collaborative environment for students to learn from one another. I am thrilled to learn with you!

I am looking forward to meeting you and working with you on any writing that you bring into the center!
Hello! I am an aspiring peace and conflict studies major and philosophy and English double minor. I live in the lovely Seattle, WA, but I grew up in the Netherlands. I am hoping to pursue a career in foreign affairs, journalism or academia. In my free time you can usually find me reading Joan Didion, thrifting (despite the terrifying state of my closet), or watching The White Lotus for the fifth time. At Colgate, I am involved with the Benton scholars program as well as the literary magazine, Portfolio, where I work as a prose editor. I am looking forward to working and learning with so many talented writers at WSC this year!

I have experience in writing scientific papers (specifically biology and chemistry), alongside analytical and persuasive papers from literature courses. Aside from academics, I enjoy working out at the Trudy Fitness Center or in the martial arts studio, playing club sports, watching movies and TV shows, and hanging out with friends. I’m very excited to work with you this school year!

I’m so excited to work with everyone at the Writing and Speaking Center this year!
Hi! I'm an aspiring international relations major and I plan on double-minoring in economics and French.

I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you all this year!
Hi everyone! I am from Short Hills, NJ. I plan to major in English with a minor in international relations or political science. I find writing fascinating because it allows the reader to discover a new way of thinking and form a connection with the writer (despite never meeting in person!). I am particularly interested in creative nonfiction and argumentative writing. However, I am looking forward to working with you on writing assignments across different disciplines! Outside of the WSC, I am involved in the Maroon News and Her Campus magazine. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with you this year!
Hi everyone! I’m majoring in English and minoring in economics, but I also love psychology and art history classes. Beyond the classroom, I sing in the Swinging Gates, Colgate’s all-female a cappella group, and I serve as an editor for the HerCampus digital magazine. I live in New Hampshire, so I enjoy hiking and visiting the beach while home. I’m very excited to meet and collaborate with you all!

Hey everyone! I’m a political science major, and I plan to add an English minor. I was born and raised in Westport, Connecticut, and I have always had a love for reading and writing throughout my life. In addition to working at the Writing Center, on campus I am involved with the Maroon News, the Colgate SAT Tutors at the COVE, the Amnesty International Club, and the History Club.

I am excited to work with many people across numerous fields of study, and am eager to be a resource for your writing!
Hello there! I plan to major in economics and double-minor in German and political science. I live in the Artisan Village of Berea, Kentucky, so if you need someone to geek-out with over lost crafts, I’m your girl. There is also a high Deaf population in my hometown, so I come from a hearing, signing background. That is why promoting American Sign Language education is my biggest passion outside of my academic interests. Additionally on campus, I am a part of the Colgate Investment Group, the Pre-Law Society, and the Cheer Team. My hobbies include reading (largely political philosophy) and writing poetry. I am excited to meet and work with everyone!
Hey! My name is Chapin and I am an English major from Alexandria, Virginia. Though this concentration is heavy in literature exploration, my pursuit of rhetorical studies early on in my college career has allowed me to gain an analytical lens that enables me to assess any form of writing. When it comes to the Writing Center, I value collaborative exploration and hope to hold a space for writers to find joy and relief in all stages of their writing process, from brainstorming to finalizing a draft. Outside of the Center, I love traveling, reading, and a good—but unpredictable—Colgate winter. In the future, I hope to pursue a career in the journalism industry. I am excited to familiarize myself with topics across all disciplines and serve as a resource for any writer in need!
Hi! I am an economics major and environmental studies minor from Morristown, New Jersey. In addition to my work as a consultant, I am a member of the Colgate Dischords and love to swim in my free time. Writing is an excellent source of self-expression, so I am excited to help writers find their voice in every piece of work they bring to the Center. I am looking forward to working with writers at every stage of the process, and love answering all questions one may have about their piece and beyond!
Hi! I’m a history major and political science and Russian and Eurasian studies double minor from Bethesda, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.!).

I love cooking, playing guitar, and exploring the walking trails around Hamilton. I look forward to working with you this year!
Hi! I’m an international student from Tirana, Albania. I am majoring in Chinese and art history. Some of my favorite things to do are to start a new book during exam week, re-watch early-2000s romcoms, and try to pet any dog I see. Most of my writing experience lies in the humanities and social sciences, but I look forward to working on your writing no matter what field! I love learning about new things and am fascinated by most if not all the courses that Colgate offers. I am excited to work with you this year!
