As the first in my family to earn a PhD, I know just how daunting graduate school can feel without a shared support system. While working in the University of Cincinnati’s (UC) Academic Writing Center, and sustaining partnerships with the Graduate College and Taft Research Center, I have led workshops and writing groups for domestic and international graduate students to support them in their academic writing practices. These have included a two-part lecture series on scientific writing for the College of Pharmacy; tutoring support and workshops on writing personal statements for the College of Medicine, the School of Social Work, and the McNair Scholars Program; and writing workshops and writing accountability groups (see picture to the right) focused on offering writing support for all graduate students across UC. My goal with every workshop, presentation, and writing group is to foster connections with other students and to make academia feel like a welcoming place.
You can see samples of my writing support presentations on this page by clicking on the presentation title slides.
