Hi there! I'm Sean Van Newkirk, a Senior at the University of Maine and a second year writing center tutor. I am a Kinesiology Major- with a concentration in Exercise Science, and a Minor in Leadership Studies. I want to use the knowledge and skills I will acquire through my collegiate career to become a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine and help those who are injured and in pain. The commonality between myself as a tutor and my future career aspirations being that my greatest sense of achievement is when I'm able to help others.

Here on this website you'll find my tutoring philosophy, some of my academic writing samples, achievements and interests, and a nondiscrimination statement making it well known that the Writing Center is inviting to all!

Featured throughout this website are some of the pictures I have captured in my travels, and I am always seeking a new adventure!
