Lead Writing Mentor
Appointments on Zoom
Hi everyone! I am a doctoral candidate in the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program. As the lead writing mentor, I'm here to help you achieve your writing goals.
As graduate students, we often marvel at how well others write. Yet, writing is a process. And for most of us, the writing process is a struggle. When we (want to) write, we often feel stuck, proscratinate, or encounter distractions. Writing is also an iterative process, which requires much time and practice at honing the craft. Yet, the best part about writing is we don't have to get it right the first time. Last, writing is often a solitary pursuit - no one sees us write, although people see what we write. Yet, you don't have to struggle alone.
The Psychology Writing Center offers one-to-one consultations for writing support. Whether you are starting a writing project, need an extra pair of eyes on a proposal, or would like a friendly review of your manuscript, please do not hesitate to reach out.
As Cervantes wrote, "the journey is better than the inn". Enjoy your writing journey!
The Writing Support Center is one of many resources offered to graduate students in the Department of Psychology, with the goal of providing structure and support for students to become stronger scientific writers.
What can you expect from the Writing Support Center?
- Constructive and honest feedback targeted at helping you achieve your goals
- Supportive and psychologically safe climate. We recognize there are many ways to write effectively, not just ONE way.
- Lots of autonomy. You are still in charge of your writing! We provide suggestions, but because you are the writer, only you would know what works best for your writing.
How are we different than your academic advisor?
- Your advisor provides very important specialized feedback for your sub-discipline. I provide general feedback on academic writing.
