Creative Writing

My experiences with research writing have taught me how to effectively research and correctly cite, as well as how to combine my own thoughts with the thoughts of those whose ideas I borrow. I am able to explain this skill to other students, and to tutor them as they do their own research.

Travel Writing
I have had the opportunity to travel to other countries. Not only has this has taught me the value of other cultures, but more importantly, it has taught me that I have much to learn, and that I cannot judge other cultures, countries, and lifestyles based solely on my own background and ideas.
