Anneli HA.

Marshall College, Political Science-Public Policy/ Chicanx/Latinx Studies

She/her

Hey everyone! My name is Anneli and I am a third-year student in Marshall College. I am majoring in Political Science - Public Policy and Chicanx/Latinx Studies. I have writing experience in undergrad with AWP, the DOC series, and I am also very comfortable with research-based writing, synthesis, argumentative writing, and personal statements. I really enjoy being able to help other writers express their thinking and ideas in a way that makes them proud of their writing. I also love learning about writing, how to express myself, and experiencing ideas through other peoples’ writing. I am happy to help writers through every point in the writing process, whether it be getting initial ideas onto the paper, or giving final advice and tips! I also understand that writing can be a vastly different experience for everyone, and I am willing to provide accommodations to any student.

I am happy to work with students in both English and Spanish. I can’t wait to work with you!

Hi there! My name is Daisy and i'm a part of Muir College! I'm currently a third-year studying Business Economics and minoring in Linguistics Language Studies - Brazilian Portuguese. I have experience with the Analytical Writing Program (AWP 3) and the Muir College Writing Program (MCWP 40 & 50). I also have experience with various forms of writing such as grant writing, business writing and writing for fine arts. I acknowledge that writing can be a hard process however, I hope that working collaboratively can help alleviate the intimidation that comes with the writing process. As someone that loves to learn new languages I hope to reach as many people with my writing and passion for communicating with others!

Destiney F.

Muir; Communication

she/her/hers

Hello! My name is Destiney and I am a 3rd year Communication and Social Psychology double major from Muir College! I love writing, from argumentative essays to creative fiction. I have a journalistic background through my work as a Managing Editor for the Muir Quarterly (The MQ, UCSD’s premier satire newspaper), and as an opinion writer for the UCSD Guardian. In addition, I have experience drafting speeches, presentations, and working with professional documentation (analyzing records, managing business correspondence, and other research reports). I believe writing is a collaborative process, and my goal as a consultant is to provide a space to let your ideas flow freely!

I have ADHD, so I am well acquainted with the difficulties of obtaining the necessary amount of accommodations throughout the writing process. Because of that, I am open to working with you and offering quiet spaces, visual aids, and other support you may need!

I primarily offer services in English, but I am able to understand Tagalog if needed!

She/Her

Hello! My name is Elaine and I'm a Chinese International student in Junior year. I major in both Applied Mathematics and Political Science. My interest lies in a wide range of topics from politics to arts and STEM-related subjects. Writing has always been a challenging yet rewarding experience to me as a non-native (Mandarin-speaking) student. I would love to help whoever struggling with language barrier to better express their ideas. ;)

Erika L.

she/her/hers

Hello! I'm Erika, a 3rd year Math-Computer Science major. I'm interested in AI/ML research and software engineering. I have experience working with students on graduate school, internship and scholarship applications, which I find incredibly fulfilling. I love helping students share their life experiences and accomplishments through their writing. Other than that, I also assist students with refining academic research papers and technical writing for research purposes. I'm also fluent in Chinese/Mandarin, so feel free to speak to me in a language that you're most comfortable with.

Hannah J.

Marshall College; Literary Arts (major), Communication (minor), Spanish Literature (minor)

she/her

What is up! Whatever it is that you need to produce—a metacognitive reflection, argumentative essay, personal statement, literary analysis, & more—please drop by to have a little chat. You’ll be the expert, and I’ll be your assistant.

Within the writing sphere, I'll be working on a creative thesis this year. But, I'll also be writing for The UCSD Guardian. That should keep me exposed to more technical kinds of writing. Outside the writing sphere, I'll be practicing tattooing, graffiting, boxing, and guitaring.

I’m most experienced with consultation in English, moderately experienced in Spanish, and can understand/speak Korean. Plus, I’m open to any learning/environment accommodations you might want; do let me know what’ll be best for you.

Harrison B.

Muir College, Political Science/Computational Social Science

he/him

Hello! My name is Harrison and I am a third-year Political Science major with a minor in Computational Social Science. As Muir student, I have extensive experience completing as well as tutoring other students in the MCWP series. I also have experience working on research and academic writing projects, specifically relating to political science but with skills that apply to all kinds of fields in social science.

Having begun work as a tutor at the beginning of my sophomore year, I have not only familiarized myself with the Analytical Writing Program (AWP) as well as every college's writing program, but also working on cover letters, personal statements, and a myriad of other types of writing. This means that for anything you have to bring it to me at any stage of the writing process, I would love to work on it with you.

I am a native English speaker and speak intermediate Chinese which I can utilize in our conversations.

Jackie C.

Seventh College; Major: World Literature Minor: Human Development

she/her

Nice to meet you! My name is Jackie, and I’m a Human Developmental Sciences major at Seventh College. I have worked with all types of writing, ranging from research papers and literary analysis to playwriting and personal biographies. My goal is to encourage writing that you feel connected to, other people can engage with, and most importantly, makes you proud (on top of meeting whatever requirements might be needed for a class). I love working with people, and I want to make sure that writing is as non-intimidating as possible and is something you can learn from and have a good time doing in the process.

No matter what stage you are in or what your process is, I will always be happy to brainstorm, help draft, look over, or just talk about your writing with you. If you like to pace back and forth between ideas, I will pace with you, if rapping helps to get some juices flowin’, I will bring out the sunglasses, and if you're like Dan Brown and need to hang upside down, that one might be hard to coordinate, but we will figure it out! If it helps, I am also semi-fluent in French and Mandarin.

Ocean F.

Muir College, Philosophy Major/Data Science Minor

He/Him

Hello! My name is Ocean, and I'm a fourth year studying Philosophy with an emphasis in law with a minor in Bioethics. I especially love writing argumentative and analytical papers, but I would be happy to help with any form of writing you're working on. I've touched on most if not all of the writing courses so though I might be most familiar with MCWP, don't be afraid to bring work from anywhere.

Outside of my main field of study I have worked on 2 published cardiovascular papers and written several other STEM related pieces, so I am fairly proficient when moving away from the humanities. Though I'm most comfortable consulting in English, if it helps at all I am semi-fluent in Mandarin.
