Position Title
Director
- Writing Support Services
I came to UC Davis in 2014 when I joined the AATC team. Prior to coming to Davis, I had experience in teaching college composition as well as working in the context of writing across the curriculum. Now, as a director, I help coordinate services with different partner programs as well as assist in the creation of new programs and services. In addition to representing the Writing Support Center, I meet with students in one-on-one appointments, and I also help in our Writing Studio. Currently, I facilitate our writing tutor pedagogy course.
