Hey guys! My name is Marie, and I am a current sophomore at Trinity. I am a German Studies and English Literature double major. In addition to being a writing tutor, I am also a member of the Trinity College Trinitones (Trinity’s oldest all-female a Cappella group) as well as the Trinity College Chapel Singers and the Trinity College Choir.

Being a writing tutor is very important to me, because writing is such an integral part of the college experience. Hopefully I will see you all in the writing center! |

Carolina Galdiz '14
Greetings, Bantams! My name is Carolina Galdiz, and I am a junior majoring in International Studies and English Literature. In addition to being a Writing Associate, I'm an RA in Frobb and a coxswain on the Men's Rowing Team. I love writing because it is always a work in progress. You can always change your writing and every time you read something, you stand to be changed. To borrow a quote from Joseph Conrad, "My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel — it is, before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm — all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.” I'm looking forward to working with you soon!

Rachel Ng '14
Hello there! My name is Rachel and I am a third year Public Policy and Economics double major. When I'm not burning the midnight oil at the library, I enjoy tasting Hartford's diverse choice of restaurants and traveling around the world. I never leave home without an interesting magazine and Mad Libs, even though [noun] finds it [adjective] because it was "so middle school". This game exemplifies what I love about the English language though - there are so many ways to communicate one idea, yet a slight change in punctuation or word choice can also change the meaning entirely. Ever seen this joke?: "Let's eat Grandpa!" versus "Let's eat, Grandpa!" ...Commas save lives! So if you want to save your old man and prevent another mishap, please visit me at 115 Vernon! I am here to help no matter what stage of the writing process you are in.
