Olivia Johnson



About Me

Hello! My name is Olivia Johnson and I am a fourth-year English major at the University of Maine. I am concentrating in Professional/Technical Writing and minoring in Creative Writing. I'm from Levant, Maine, so I'm pretty familiar with the Orono area!

My tutoring style centers around mental health and the best strategies I can use to help my clients. I'm a big advocate for destigmatizing mental health struggles due to my own personal battles with anxiety. To read more about my mindfulness strategies, you can find them in my Consulting Philosophy section where I'll dive further into these practices!

This Website

This website is meant to help students at the University of Maine discover Writing Center consultants who can help them with their projects. Even though I am an English major, I also can help with projects from various other fields, so feel free to book a session with me if you are studying outside the English department!

I want to make everyone who works with me feel comfortable and safe with sharing their work, which is why I use Mindfulness Exercises to start out my consultations. If you do decide to work with me, feel free to look at what practices we can use before our sessions. These can be as short as a 30 second breathing exercise or a few minutes of a mental exercise!

More About Me

When I'm not at the Writing Center, on campus I work as a copy editor for the Maine Campus. In addition, I'm also studying in the Honors College at UMaine.

Off campus, I love traveling. From Fall 2018 to Spring 2019, I took a gap year to travel to France and Ireland. It was the most thrilling experience of my life and I hope to travel more in the future! I also love to read and go on hikes!
