Alexia

Hi, I’m Alexia, an English major with a Professional Writing and Public Relations minor. I’m a senior and planning to graduate in the winter of 2024. I’m good at argumentative papers as I like how they are written and read, but I am flexible with any English paper. Even if you don’t have an English paper, I will do my best to help you.

Carlee

Hello! My name is Carlee and I am currently a junior here at UNCP. I am an English major (with an emphasis in professional writing) and I will be graduating in December. Throughout my academic career I have taken a variety of courses outside of English including political science, psychology, and environmental science. I love to work on creative projects, including creative writing or other types of presentations, and am comfortable assisting on a range of written works within the social sciences and humanities fields. Outside of class and the writing center, I'm working toward running a 10k and I love to read!

Chris

Hi! My name is Christian (Chris), I am assistant coordinator of the Writing Center at UNCP. I was born in New York and my parents are from Ecuador. I grew up in a Spanish speaking household and I graduated from UNCP in 2023 with my degree in Spanish and a Hispanic Studies minor. I enjoy music, playing soccer, running, and watching movies. I have always enjoyed using my bilingual ability to assist others and would gladly be able to help in anything written in English or Spanish. I have worked on many essays and presentations during my academic career here and am open to assist in those areas wherever needed. Although I am mostly familiar with MLA format, I have also done some written work in APA and Chicago format. All in all, I am happy to help in whatever way I can and am looking forward to meeting you all!

Elise 

Hi everyone! I'm Elise, or Dr. Dixon if you are so inclined. I am the writing center director here at UNCP. I've been working in writing centers since I was an undergraduate student myself, which means I've been tutoring for (OMG) nearly 20 years 👀. I love working in the writing center because I love to learn new things from the clients I work with, and show people how much they already know about writing. I especially love to work on professional documents like CVs, cover letters, and statements of purpose, but am adept at helping you make the coolest powerpoint you've ever made. My research focus is in queer and feminist theory, so hit me with those gender papers! When I'm not in the writing center, I am enjoying Fried Chicken Friday in the cafeteria.

Emma

Hey lovely! I am a senior psychology major with a social welfare minor. I absolutely love working here and I have an aptitude for working with our older, non-traditional students. I am most well-versed in APA, but I can help you with anything you may need. I love to help with brainstorming and paper outlines. I am also a Head Orientation Leader here at UNCP and I do free-lance makeup on the side. Please don’t hesitate to book with me, I would love to help you in any way that I can.

Jaden

Hello! My name is Jaden, and I am a senior majoring in English with a Professional Writing Emphasis. Since transferring here, I have been working toward achieving an editorial position somewhere; as a result, I can say that I am particularly confident in my punctuational, syntax, and grammar skills. Outside of the nerdy, educational stuff, though, I mostly just enjoy staying home. Yeah, I'm kinda boring, but at least that means you can expect to get your writing feedback from me pretty quickly!

Kai

Hello! My name is Kai (any pronouns). I'm a junior and my major is Sociology. I love APA formatting, writing annotated bibliographies, and writing research papers. Outside of the Writing Center, I love painting, playing to kalimba, working out and spending time in nature.

Noah

Hi! My name is Noah (he/him). I am currently in the second semester of my junior year. I am a mass communications major with a concentration in journalism and my minor is in English. I can help best with brainstorming, MLA formatting and citations, sentence structure, AP style, and creative writing. Over the course of my education, I have gained a lot of experience in the field of writing. I am best at expository, argumentative, and literature papers, but I am ready and willing to help with anything you may need! When I am not in the writing center, you can find me cooking, reading, or playing video games. I also write poetry and short stories whenever I can find the time. I look forward to seeing you in the center! Have a great semester, and happy writing!

Noemi

Hey, I'm Noemi (NO-EE-ME) also known as NiNi. I'm from Ohio but I came here for school. I'm a sophomore majoring in environmental science and minoring in Geology. I love working with plants and water.  This is my first semester as a writing tutor. I can help with brainstorming, thesis statements, citations, and being a set of eyes or ears to simply hear what you have to say or show me. When I'm not in the writing center you can find me at the gym, taking care of my turtle, watering my plants, reading, or managing the UNCP swim team. I would consider myself a positive and outgoing person! My goal is to not only help you with your paper but to also provide an open space for you! Come as you are!

William

Hello, my name is William, and I am currently a Senior majoring in English with an emphasis in professional writing and a minor in TESOL. As a writing center tutor, I am eager to share my knowledge and experiences with my fellow students. I understand the struggles of writing assignments and the pressure to produce quality work. That's why I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for any student who’s looking to improve their writing skills. I enjoy writing MLA-style papers such as research papers, annotations, and general essays, and I can assist with all of them. Outside of school I am a dog walker and sitter, and I spend most of my free time reading, writing, and playing video games.

Zaveyan

Hi there! My name is Zaveyan, and I'm a senior majoring in English with an emphasis in literature! Here as a tutor I'm eager to do what I can to provide you with the help you need to find your footing at any phase of the writing process, and in that process learn new things from our experience together! I personally enjoy researching and analyzing both fictional and non-fictional literature and delving into the research and conversations surrounding them! In my free time I enjoy a bit of documentary watching, reading, and model train and plane building! I hope to see you here at the center!
