Hi! My name is Lucy. I have a PhD and Masters in Classics (my area of specialty is the Late Antique Latin poet Claudian) and I am also the Assistant Director of the Writing Program and Writing Center at a small liberal arts college, where I teach academic writing, first year seminar, and topics in expository writing. Helping students learn the habits of mind that are needed to express and develop their thoughts at a college level is the core of my job, and something that I take great enjoyment out of. I believe that communication should not be delegated to AI but should remain a uniquely human function-- that said, writing is hard! I will always work to normalize and validate the struggle of learning to write and can't promise any easy fixes or quick tips. I can promise to help students take control of the writing process and begin to uncover their own voices.
When I'm not working I love to ride my horse, Mijo, and to cuddle up on the couch with my cats and a book (or the latest show I'm binge watching). Travel is also a big part of my life-- I grew up between the States, France, and Canada, and spent 6 months going to school in Australia when I was little. I've been to about 40 different countries and am always planning my next adventure!
