Hey, I’m Pippa! I participate in FTC robotics (go Appy!), co-lead astronomy club, and love to make art (when I have the time). As a writing studio consultant, I hope to help students gain confidence in the looming projects that are driving them nuts.

Reach out if you have any questions or want to hear my thoughts on why forks are better than spoons!

Hi! I'm Hadley, and I'm so excited to be a writing studio consultant!

I'm incredibly involved with Speech and Debate, the Jewish Cultural Club, Indigo Ridge, and theater here on campus. I also love to read, watch sitcoms, and play guitar. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to set up an appointment!

As a writing consultant, I especially enjoy providing feedback on applications and refining personal statements. I’m also happy to assist with academic writing, research papers, creative pieces, and everything in between. I look forward to supporting you throughout the writing process!

Max Vaughan
vaugan26m@ncssm.edu
Hey, my name is Max, and I'm excited to be a part of the writing studio. I love learning about the humanities and social sciences, especially language, government, and history, and writing is something I really enjoy. I look forward to working side-by-side with anyone who needs help with structure or revisions, or who simply wants a second opinion on their project! I also have experience taking Advanced Spanish here at NCSSM, so I would be happy to assist with projects in that language. I'm passionate about running and reading in my free time, and I am involved in student government and the school newspaper here at NCSSM.

Hi, I’m Alina, a writing consultant whose strengths lie in creative writing. I’m best suited for revision and proofreading, but I’m happy to help at any stage of the writing process. While academic writing isn’t my specialty, I’ll always do my best to support you. In my free time, I enjoy action and romance novels, collecting unique fridge magnets, and diving into war history (especially WWII U-boats)! I also have an interest in environmental justice and embrace maximalism. If my hours don’t work for you, feel free to email or G-Chat me. I’d love to find a time that works for you.
