I’ve become particularly suited to poetry and short stories most recently, and my ultimate dream is to be an author. I can help you keep your vision clear and your voice strong in your writing. My own writing is a massively positive force in my life, and I want to help others realize that for themselves!

Writing Consultant
Major: Forensic Chemistry
Minor: Theatre
Hello! I’m Cole, I use any pronouns, and I’m a freshman here at WOU. I’m a Forensic Chemistry major, with a minor in Theater. I took all of my writing credits in high school, so all of my writing now is just as a hobby. I have a passion for writing, and while I usually write novels, sometimes I find myself creating essays or slideshows over topics I’m passionate about for fun. One of the things that helps me the most when writing is getting advice and proof-readings from peers. I’d love to be the person to give that to others, to help them excel in their writing ability and start to appreciate how enjoyable writing can really be.

Writing Consultant
Major: Education (middle/high social studies)

Hello! My name is Hannah, and I am a second-year education major with a focus in middle/high social studies. I am also a student in the Honors Program, a member of WOU’s Model United Nations, and our Phi Alpha Theta National History Honor Society. I have long had a passion for history, language, and culture, which are the subjects that landed me in education. A lesser-known trait of mine is that I also have a passion for writing, and I take great pride in my work. I love helping others with their work, and I also like giving people confidence in their work!

Lead Tutor
B.A. English Writing / Humanities Minor
Citation Specialty: APA & MLA

Hi! I’m Jasper (he/him). I have a B.A. in English, which means Kung Fu Panda makes me cry. I’ve tutored undergrad and graduate students at the Writing Center for three years, specializing in creative assignments and my trademark brand of frenzied brainstorming. In my spare time, I write free verse poetry. In fact, everyone likes it so much that I’m getting a Master’s for it at the University of Idaho. In the meantime, I partake in nerdy activities like D&D, MTG, and copious amounts of non-fiction reading and arthouse films. What I love most about the Writing Center is learning and/or discussing new things with students. So drop on by, and let’s nerd out!

Writing Consultant
Major: ASL Interpreting, English Studies
Citation Specialty: APA

Hello! I’m Lilly (she/her). I’m majoring in ASL interpreting and English Studies, I also have a minor in writing. I enjoy reading, writing, playing video games, and spending time with my wonderful cat. I plan on pursuing my masters in interpreting after aquiring my B.S, so I’ll be here at WOU for awhile longer. I’ve worked at the writing center for about a year now, and I absolutely love working with other students. It’s tons of fun to meet with my peers and see their assignments take shape. I tend to specialize in APA formatting and research papers, though I love working with all kinds of writing. I hope I can assist you in the future!

Writing Intern
Major: Art and Design
Minor: Writing, Spanish
Citation Specialty: MLA

Hi! I’m Noel (she/her), an Art and Design major with minors in Writing and Spanish. I enjoy creative writing, photography, and animation—whether I’m watching it or trying to make it myself. When I’m not working on a project, I’m probably taking a long walk (preferably near a beach) or getting distracted by something oddly specific. I love helping people find their voice on the page, whether that means brainstorming, organizing ideas, or figuring out how to say exactly what you mean. Writing can be tough, but it’s also a space for creativity—and I’m here to help however I can!

I enjoy many creative activities, such as photography, dance, crochet and cross stitch. Writing has always been a fond hobby of mine and helping people improve their own writing is something that I’m passionate about. I’m excited to meet you!
