Hi there! My name is Julia Becker, and I am currently a sophomore here at Ithaca College. I recently chose to pursue an English major, with minors in Legal Studies and the Humanities and Sciences Honors Program. I hope eventually to earn some sort of graduate degree, but for the moment, I'm still pretending the real world doesn't yet exist, and I continue to take frivolous classes and treat college like it's supposed to be relaxed and fun. I'm very experienced in the MLA writing style, and would be glad to help with any academic writing, personal essays, or anything else you bring in. I hope to meet with you soon!

 Amelia Blevins is a Writing major with minors in English and Scriptwriting from the suburbs of Baltimore, MD. When she's not immersed in the written words of others, she's most likely immersed in her own.

 My name is Jacob Brower and I am a junior writing major at Ithaca College, with a minor in Religious Studies. Having had to write many an academic paper over the years, I'm comfortable with academic essays and arguments, etc., but my concentration in creative writing and plans to pursue fiction in graduate school
mean I'm also versed in creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. I'm also familiar with MLA and APA citation.

 My name is Noah Burd and I write stories, essays, songs, and comedy. In my two years at Ithaca College, I have also become fascinated with the visual arts: my coursework currently identifies me as an undeclared art history minor. I ultimately hope to use these expressive media as a vehicle for effective political/cultural/social activism. I like tutoring because I like hearing people think out their ideas and helping them get those ideas onto paper.

 After nearly three years in the English Department here at Ithaca College, Bart Comegys — currently a junior — knows his way around some literary analysis. He is also a capable practitioner or more general academic writing, and really likes working with fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. If you want Bart to like you, have something to say about THE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway — it's his favorite book. But really, just relax and be yourself, and the two of you will get along fine, hopefully yielding some really good writing.

 Matt Connolly is a senior Writing Major with an interest in creative nonfiction, poetry and the politics of literacy. After graduation he hopes to pursue a career studying and practicing alternative education and critical pedagogy. Until he attains his goal, he will most likely work in a bookstore. He hopes to see you in the Writing Center some time soon.

 Emily George is a senior English and Writing double major from the massive and famous town of White Salmon, Washington.  She loves Renaissance drama and poetry in general, and she has written many, many academic papers that have familiarized her with MLA formatting and with our library's delightful research tools.  She specializes in academic essay, personal essay, fiction, and poetry.

 My name is Melissa LaCasse, and I've literally been writing since first grade.  I'm now a junior Writing major, and my concentration is Creative Writing, but I've had plenty of experience with all sorts of academic essays thanks to the Honors program and various History and English classes. I'm familiar with MLA and Chicago style formatting, and I've even done some dabbling in APA. I also enjoy grammar a little too much.  When I'm not writing or working as a tutor, I run the Sword Team and spend my Thursday nights with the Anime Society. Now that I think of it, I may be a bit of a geek.

 My name is Blair Lord. I am a senior Writing major with a Creative Writing concentration, and I am also minoring in Music, particularly voice. While I'll be sad to leave Ithaca College at the end of the year, I’m nonetheless excited to pursue an MFA graduate degree in Creative Writing next fall. I’m very familiar with MLA citation. I possess a solid knowledge of punctuation (thanks to Mrs. Franklin, my 11^th grade English teacher) and will help you find just the right words to tighten your phrases. I have taken Persuasive Argument, Personal Essay, Proposal and Grant Writing, Science Writing, and fiction and poetry writing classes during my college career. I look forward to meeting you! 

 Maddie McCann is a sophomore Writing major and Art History minor.  She comes from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and her specialties include fiction, poetry, art history, and argument. 

 Jessie Mitchell is a junior Writing major and Religious Studies minor at Ithaca College. Her creative concentration sometimes requires her to break grammar rules and deliberately misspell words, but her minor consists mainly of academic papers, so she hasn't forgotten what those are yet.  She is handy with MLA and is also quite good at helping students with other citation styles.  So come hang out with her!  Or, you know, make an appointment.

 Meg Schumm is a sophomore double-majoring in Philosophy and Television-Radio with a concentration in Scriptwriting. She plans on eventually becoming a scriptwriter or maybe going to law school, with the eventual dream of becoming CJ on the West Wing. She's worked extensively with screenplay and MLA formatting, and she's familiar with APA and AP styles as well. She would love to help you with an academic essay, screenplay, or fiction piece, so stop by the Writing Center for a conference. It'll be awesome.

 My name is Emmy Schwartz and I'm a senior Writing major, pre-optometry student, and Honors minor. I have experience with academic writing, essays, fiction, lab reports, and MLA style. Next year I will be going to optometry school in Boston, and I have a lot of background in the sciences as well as with different types of writing. I look forward to working with you soon!

 Julie Winograd, a sophomore Cinema and Photography major, concentrating in Screenwriting and minoring in Philosophy, hails from the great state of Colorado. She plays hockey (and is a die-hard fan of the Colorado Avalanche), loves reading/discussing Shakespeare (just mention KING LEAR and she'll get excited), and spends far too much time watching TV shows and movies (but that's okay, because it's her major). She specializes in screenplays, personal essays, and academic essays.
