Hello everyone! My name is Jacob Bojito and I am a senior studying History, English, and Spanish. I was born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts but proudly represent my Puerto Rican roots. I work on campus as an Administrative Assistant in the Office of Student Services and a Resident Advisor in the Keyes Community. Some of my involvements on campus include being a tour guide for the Student Admission Program as well as being part of the Executive Board for the Puerto Rican Student Association and the Organization of Latin American Affairs. Throughout my time at 艾可直播 College, I have taken multiple creative writing workshops to find my voice and improve the way I express myself. Through these experiences, I have developed many unique and untraditional approaches to the writing process and have learned how to help myself and my peers think beyond their work. I hope that my experience as an open-minded bilingual writer can provide a useful perspective for students looking to improve their writing!

Hi everyone! My name is Yinan Ding, and I am an international student from China and a Senior double majoring in Psychology BA and English. I am interested in studying clinical psychology and literature. I love literature and hope people can benefit from reading literature from different cultures, so I also work as a translator. However, when I committed to English as my second major, I struggled to write essays, especially with the problem of expressing myself in a second language. With the help of the Writing Center, I learned how to write fluent sentences and paragraphs, organize structures, and correct essay format. I believe everyone can be good writers, sometimes people just need a little help. So I decided to be a member of the Writing Center, and I hope my writing journey will help students learn English writing skills and find it interesting!!

Hello everyone, my name is Yosenlis Fabian and I am a senior double majoring in Psychology and English in MCAS. Being born in the Dominican Republic and having to learn English has been a significant part of my academic and personal growth.This experience has given me a unique perspective on writing, especially for those who may find it challenging. I understand the difficulties that come with mastering a second language, and I鈥檝e used this understanding to support bilingual students who might struggle with writing. My approach to writing is rooted in patience and clarity, and I see it as an opportunity to bridge gaps in communication and understanding. I鈥檓 passionate about helping others add to their writing skills and making the process as approachable as possible. I鈥檓 excited to help you develop all the skills that already exist within you!

My name is听Emmbrooke听and I was born in California, grew up in Florida, and currently live in Massachusetts. Even though I experienced many different cultures growing up, I always found writing to be the most meaningful form of communication. To me, writing is a direct gateway into a person's mind and soul in a way that other mediums cannot capture. My approach to tutoring is very collaborative and student-led. Here at BC, I explore my love of writing through studying political science and I also write as a columnist for the Heights, am a member of the Swing Dance team, and a Campus engagement coordinator for CAB.

My name is Lucas Hurtado, a Senior in the History Major and American Studies Minor! On campus I鈥檓 involved in OLAA as their Director of Community Service, but my interests expand way beyond just that club! As it pertains to my role as a writing coach, I鈥檝e been helping peers and friends with their writing for a very long time, and find it a very fun and engaging process! My specialties in writing lie in historical and argumentative-based papers, but I鈥檓 happy to tackle any writing questions or problems you might have! I can also help when it comes to stuff like structuring an essay, or even moments where you might not have any idea about what an essay will be about! When it comes down to it, I find the writing process to be really rewarding, and I鈥檓 excited to be able to help with whatever you may need!

I'm Kyra Johnson, a senior from Long Beach, California double majoring in English and Sociology with a concentration in Creative Writing! Within my studies, I enjoy focusing on the intersection between popular culture and entertainment media, a large part of which revolves around how we can use writing鈥攆ormal, creative, journalistic, or otherwise鈥攖o express how we interact with and perceive our world. Outside of the Writing Center, I edit and write for The Gavel, am on the BC Esports board, and volunteer with a local cat shelter. I also love using art, puzzles, and games as a creative outlet whenever I'm not writing. I've always found that with the right amount of creativity and ambition in your writing process, you can express ideas that you never realized you had before, and I hope that we can experience that together at the Writing Center! I would love to learn from one another as we take on whatever writing goals you may have鈥攁nd I'll always be happy to chat about your personal creative pieces, too.

Hi! I'm Jesse Julian, born and raised in Southern California. I love exploring new music, thrifting, and sitting at caf茅s with an iced latte while pretending I'm busy. At BC, I'm a junior double-majoring in English and Philosophy, with a minor in Medical Humanities. Just like my academics, most of my extracurriculars involve writing, such as satirical journalism through the New England Classic, editing submissions for the Medical Humanities Journal, or composing poetry for the Schiller Institute. My writing approach relies heavily on workshopping. I see writing as a similar art form to sculpting; molding words together, then chiseling it down for the reveal. I love diving into the nitty-gritty of revision, or even engaging in surface-level brainstorming to overcome blank page syndrome. I'm easygoing, yet enthusiastic about writing, with a genuine curiosity for what you have to say. I've worked with abstract writing, such as poetry, but have plenty of extensive work with essays of diverse topics, such as book analyses or lab reports. Hope to see you at the Writing Center!

Hello Everybody! My name is Quinn Kirchner, I鈥檓 a junior from Rockville, Maryland. I鈥檓 a double English and Economics major. Outside of studying, I have a radio show and am a rock director for WZBC. I also participate and am on the board of the Effective Altruism club. In my free time, I love to go on runs, read, and hang out with my friends. I have always loved writing and helping my friends and family with their writing because writing allows myself and others to express themselves and develop a unique voice. My specialties are in argumentative writing but creative writing is also a significant area of interest for me, allowing me to help explore imaginative storytelling and diverse narrative styles. Sharing one鈥檚 writing can be a vulnerable experience. That being said, my goal in the writing center is to be encouraging and helpful to help others find their voice. I hope to share my passion for writing with everyone I work with!

My name is Jasmine Lee and I am a junior from Middletown, Delaware. I'm majoring in Biology and minoring in Data Science. I honestly didn't think I enjoyed writing until I came to college and developed a writing process that helps me produce work I'm proud of. Writing is a foundational skill in all academic disciplines and I hope to be able to lend a hand to anyone who would like a new perspective on their writing! Outside of the writing center, I also work in the nursing building and O'Neill and I'm involved in 4艾可直播 and Project Sunshine.

My name is Garrett Martin, and I am a senior from San Francisco, CA. I'm studying Secondary Education and English with minors in Theology and Managing for Social Impact. Outside of class I manage BC's Women's Volleyball Team, play for our Club Volleyball Team, and serve on the e-board of the Philippine Society of BC (PSBC). My favorite part of the writing process is helping writers find their own voice! Working with high school students in my pre-practicum experiences has given me exposure to this work, but I am excited to broaden it to college level writers. In my personal writing, I would describe myself as someone who is organized, methodical, and creative; I love to push the boundaries/rules/conventions of academic writing while also planning intently. I hope to help others develop their unique voice as well as share some of the writing practices that I have gained in my years as a writer!

I'm Lola Milazzo, a junior from Westchester, New York double majoring in English and Political Science! On campus, I'm involved in the Bellarmine Law Review and the Music Guild in addition to being a writing tutor at The Connors Family Learning Center. This is my first year working at the Writing Center, and I am so excited to help more students to express themselves through writing. While studying Political Science has helped me to learn to write more succinctly and effectively, in addition to learning how to write in a number of different formats, studying English has allowed me to develop my creativity and analytical skills, especially concerning fiction and poetry. Inside and outside of my studies, I often take part in creative writing and have even had some works published in online journals. This experience has allowed me to discover my voice and flair as a writer, not just in creative pieces, but also in any academic format that I am tasked to complete. I am inspired to help students find their own voices through writing and to craft papers that not only reflect who they are as academics, but who they are as whole people as well.

Hey everyone! My name is Layla Oubssis and I am senior studying Psychology and English. I absolutely love reading, so much that it inspired me to write my own creative pieces. I do my best to catch up on as much reading and writing as I can during my free time, although it certainly was not like that when I was younger. For a while, writing seemed to be a purely academic task that was quite scary, especially since I struggled with grammatical rules growing up. That was until I opened myself up to having fun with it! It was then that I began to understand that most writers craft their best pieces when they are in an environment that promotes freedom, creativity, and most importantly, receptivity to new ideas, especially ones we are passionate about. I believe that everyone, even if they do not love writing, can be an incredible writer with the proper support and encouragement. While this is my first year at BC鈥檚 Writing Center, I spent all of high school tutoring both my peers and elementary school students in English. I hope to boost students鈥� confidence and help them find their own, unique love for writing!

Hi all! I am Elizabeth Pozniakova, and I am studying Biology and English. On campus, I am a Hatchery (Makerspace) team member and trainer, a founding member of the BC Ukrainian Club, and collate data for literature reviews on BRCA gene mutations. Off-campus, I volunteer at a clinic that assists 艾可直播鈥檚 homeless population with medical care. Scientific language is often assumed to be vapid, and while this is a valid case, writing is essential to articulating and charting the course of groundbreaking research. My natural preference for creative and narrative writing proved useful in my hard science courses after all! I argue it could be just as essential to your domain as well. As soon as I realized that writing can be transposable, I was no longer daunted by any genre or style of writing required of my classes. We all have a distinct voice, and I look forward to helping you preserve yours while adhering to the many structural and conventional constraints of academic writing鈥� especially generating ideas for a streamlined process through conversation.

I am Katelyn Rivera. I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in English. I am a member of the Montserrat Coalition Advisory board. For the past two years I have worked off campus so I am extremely excited to work at the Writing Center this year. I love writing and I am happy to share that with you by helping in any way I can.

Hi! My name is Yuan. I'm from Brookline, Massachusetts (about 15 min away from BC). I'm a senior with an English major and a concentration in Creative Writing. Ever since I was little, I have always loved reading. I loved reading about fantasy worlds that I'd insist were "realistic" fiction because anything is possible. As I got older, I would experience things that were hard for me to understand. To process them, I would write and try to make my characters go through the same things (in a slightly different scenario) and see how they might react. Because I am shy, I was terrified to be connected to my work, but I loved hearing feedback about my writing from people because it provided new insight that I had never thought about; it helped me improve the clarity of the concepts and themes I was writing about as well as the structure and mechanics of my writing. This all applies to analytical as well as creative writing. I hope to provide a comfortable environment for us to work and grow together as writers and humans.

I鈥檓 Harry, a junior studying English. I love writing and I鈥檝e worked multiple positions as an editor or tutor over the past few years. Around campus, I perform music in BC bOp! and the University Wind Ensemble. I really appreciate the research and creative processes that constitute the creation of anything, and as such I鈥檓 happy to help with writing at any stage. I have experience working with all sorts of scholarly papers and creative pieces鈥擨 approach these things with equal enthusiasm and I鈥檓 grateful for the opportunity to assist in any way I can.

Hi, I鈥檓 Leah! I鈥檓 a junior Communication major with minors in English, Marketing, and Jewish studies. On campus, you can usually find me in The Heights office where I edit for the arts section, playing intramural volleyball, or in the Rat. In my free time, I love hiking, cooking, and graphic design. I have always loved creative writing, but it wasn鈥檛 until coming to BC that I had the chance to enjoy more analytical writing. At first, I struggled with formal writing because I felt it lacked so much of my distinct writing voice鈥� but I鈥檝e learned to blend my creative process with more structured essay planning, and I look forward to helping others do the same. Good communication skills are important no matter what interest you want to pursue, and I think good writing begins with a desire to share your interests (even if you鈥檙e not an English major)!

I'm Henry Troake and I'm from Massachusetts, about 40 minutes north of 艾可直播. I'm majoring in English with a minor in History and part of the Creative Writing Concentration, where I'm focusing on fiction. At BC, I'm one of the e-board members of Stylus, one of BC's literary and art magazines, and I currently work as an audiobook proofing intern as well as at the Writing Center! I love writing for my Fiction Workshops and pursuing my projects outside of classes, and even an essay now and again. My three years at BC have helped me love the editing process too! My goal is to help other students realize that the editing/revising process can be enjoyable and that it's more than just fixing spelling errors.

Hi everyone, my name is Madeline and I'm a senior at 艾可直播 College! I'm from Excelsior, Minnesota and am a Psych and English major with a minor in General Business. Besides working at the Writing Center, I'm also a spin instructor at the BC Rec Center and leader for the Stride program. On weekends you can find me training from my half marathon, going out in 艾可直播, and skiing. Wherever you are in the writing process I'm here to help; whether that be constructing an outline or perfecting the final revision. I want to aid in developing your strengths and craft your unique writer鈥檚 voice. I know writing isn鈥檛 everyone鈥檚 favorite activity so I promise to make the process at the Writing Center as welcoming and engaging as possible!

HI! My name is Fisher Xiong, and I am a junior majoring in history and political science. As a writer, I have practiced both academic and creative writings (primarily the former) in the past, but I would not call myself an expert of any kind. Like you, I am simply a student of writing, attracted by its potentials, fascinated by its diversity. For me, to write is to communicate: to form an opinion and use language to materialize it so that others may receive it, a process that links minds. I enjoy writing, and I would like to learn more about different ideas, which is why I am here to help those in need and to exchange perspectives to create something greater. I am fluent in both English and mandarin Chinese, so my sessions can be done in whichever one you prefer. Through communicating, I hope we can both grow as writers and leave with new insights.
