Laura Boyle (2010)

I am an English major with a minor in Creative Writing. I like each student I work with to leave feeling more confident in her ability to tackle a particular problem.

Becky Farber (2010)

I am a sociology major and a gender studies minor. I want students to be comfortable with their writing abilities and goals so that revising a paper does not become overwhelming.

Augusta Irele (2010)

I am a French and Francophone Studies major with a concentration in Literature and an Africana Studies minor. I am fluent in French. I like to make sure that the student walks out of the Writing Center confident in her argument and confident in herself as a writer.

Rochi Khemka (2009)

I am an Economics major and Mathematics minor. I try to understand what the student is attempting to convey through her writing and then give suggestions that can be applied more generally to writing issues similar to the ones discussed.

Sonal Kumar (2011)

I am an undeclared Psychology major with a Neural & Behavorial Sciences Concentration. I have experience in creative writing. My tutorials are an interactive learning opportunity, an invitation to discover how to revisit, rethink, and revise effectively.

Shannon McPherson (2009)

I am a senior Spanish major & a Theater minor. My favorite part about my job is working with an initially frustrated student and having her leave a contented, composed writer who knows her time spent at the Center was enriching.

Becky Miller (2010)

I am a Comparative Literature major with minors in French and English. I always ask the student what she wants to get out of our tutorial and then try to offer relevant commentary.

Nafisa Misawa (2010)

I am a biology major and pre-med. I will always try to make the tutorial sessions as stress free as possible, and do my best to provide a relaxed environment for the student.

Lauren Neudorfer (2011)

I am an undeclared English or psychology major; I am also enrolled in the Elementary Teacher Certification Program at Swarthmore College. I have some experience working with creative writing. I believe that revision is the process of clarifying a writer's ideas, rather than correcting a student's product.

Aheli Purkayastha (2009)

I am a History of Art and  Political Science Double Major. If you are looking for a friendly person to help you brainstorm for an upcoming writing assignment or just need someone to read over a draft, I'll be there to help!

Marium Sattar (2009)

I am a Comparative Literature Major. I enjoy working with my peers to organize and discuss their ideas. I like to make students feel more comfortable and confident with their writing abilities.
