I see writing as a way to communicate our thoughts and ideas in such depth, it uncovers a part of our personality we didn't even know existed. I want to help students produce work that reflects who they are in a way that it not only captures the readers attention, but allows them to consider and acknowledge the perspective from which it was written by. Everyone deserves to have their voices heard, and I want to help make that possible using the most effective method there is; writing.
