Writing Center Internship
In Fall 2022, I enrolled in the course ENG395: English Internship which prepares students to tutor in the Writing Center. This course exposes students to writing center scholarship and pedagogy, teaching strategies applicable to both tutoring others in composition and to our own writing. Over the course of the semester, my colleagues and I completed various writing projects to demonstrate our understanding of genre conventions. I have also included some smaller assignments -- discussion posts from my time in the class that reflect on concepts I consider central to thinking about composing practices, and my experiments in graphic design.

Engaging Audiences: A Reflection On Writing Intentionally Toward Context and Audience
A Google Slides presentation with speaker notes* reflecting on my takeaways from the internship and how it is reflected in the work I produced, both for this class and in my creative work.
*To view the speaker notes, either press 's' on your keyboard or click the three vertical dots and "open speaker notes" is the first option.

Graphic Design Experiments (Infographics)
Although some of these infographics provide an overview of conventional grammar usage, I designed these 'Grammar Notes' to experiment with the communicative potential of graphic design and for the fun of doing something creative. They are not intended to offer hard and fast rules about language use that everyone must follow, and as such I strive to complicate such notions in the infographics.
