I was opened up to the job by my English 1000 professor, Professor Farley, who spoke very highly of a place called the Writing Center. It was my second semester at St. John's and I could not yet imagine myself working on campus, let alone becoming a writing consultant. But when I found out about the availability of the job, I was intrigued and jumped at the opportunity to broaden my horizons. The Writing Center has done just that; it has become one of the best education decisions I have made to date. What I came to find at the Writing Center was a world of friendly people with exceptional writing skills and a drive to help.

Currently, I have been at the Writing Center for a year. It has been a year of learning experiences that have taught me so much. I am a Communications major and am scheduled to graduate in May 2011. I truly do love to write and I love to communicate even more, hence my major. Working at the Writing Center has become the perfect place to utilize these skills. Having sessions with different people and their various forms of writing has helped me with my writing skills and dealing with people on a more professional level. Each person that comes into the Writing Center is an individual with a unique piece of work, which adds the excitement of working here. As a consultant, I have gained so much knowledge from people sharing their ideas and adding to my experiences at the Writing Center, and I look forward to so much more within my career here.
