Personal Biography Statement

In general, I believe that writing is reading, and that good readers make good writers. As a tutor, I facilitate conversations with students about their work. I ask questions that gesture towards certain modes of thinking in order to encourage and demonstrate to the student, her ability to think about writing on her own. I attempt to show students that writing is an experience beyond language; it is a journey of discovery and, in the same way that one gathers information from reading a text, one can also find new ways of seeing and knowing through their own process of writing.
