Last semester, I took a class called “The Theory and Practice of Tutoring Writing” where I learned about building connections with people and helping others with their writing as a process, not as an individual piece. This semester I was hired as a writing tutor, and I’m excited to use those skills!

As the spring semester ramps back up, I am once again getting to edit some incredible work for The Maneater as a Copy Chief. Since I began this role, I’ve edited 105 articles, and I wanted to share a breaking news piece I edited on anti-ICE protests in Columbia. themaneater.com/133605/news/...
