- Hi, hi! My name is Abby. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2020 with a BA specializing in English Language Arts Education, Cultural Studies, and Linguistics. I also earned a certificate to Teach English as a Foreign Language which I put to use teaching in South Korea! I am currently enrolled in Valencia College’s Baking and Pastry program. When I’m not baking or frosting, I enjoy going to trivia or game nights, listening to podcasts, and watching TV with my Shiba Inu, Moon. I am passionate about writing and literature (narrative writing and literary analysis assignments among my favorite to tackle). Together, we can brainstorm research topics or ways to expand on your ideas. I’m also well-versed in MLA and APA citation formats and can help finetune the organization and mechanics of your assignments. I’m looking forward to working with you—let's get writing!

Writing Consultant - Hi, I’m Vashti! I am a proud graduate of Florida A&M University where I earned my BA in English and worked as a writing consultant. I geek out about folk music and fairytales. I wrote my first collegiate essay on my favorite outlaw ballad and ever since, I’ve been presenting my research at conferences and in museums. I am well versed with MLA, APA and Chicago formats and especially love helping with professional or creative writing. Everyone has their own writing process and style. Whether you are brainstorming research ideas, polishing a draft or fixing up your formatting, I want to help you present your unique ideas.

Writing Consultant - Hello, I’m Natalia! I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BA in English Literature. At UCF, I took a special interest in Latino and Women’s Literature, but during my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels. Outside of school, I like discovering new places and things to do here in Orlando. I especially enjoy visiting museums and gardens. Previously, I worked as a daycare teacher teaching children new skills through fun and creative activities. I am someone who values self-expression so if you are looking to brainstorm ideas for an essay, I would love to help you find a unique and creative topic to write about. Additionally, if you are looking to improve the mechanics of your paper, I am proficient in MLA/APA formats and can help you with the organization, flow, and effectiveness of your writing. I look forward to helping you unleash your potential as a writer!

Writing Consultant - Hello! My name is Patrick. I obtained my BA in English Literature from the University of Central Florida, and I currently hold a certificate to Teach English as a Foreign Language. I was a writing center tutor for K-12 students where I instructed 1st-grade level grammar to SAT writing and reading. Additionally, I regularly provide content for the Orange County Library System’s blog. I am proficient in college writing skills, grammar mechanics, essay structure, and MLA/APA formats. Outside of my writing pursuits, I am a voracious reader and an avid swing dancer. There are few endeavors that are more enjoyable to me than assisting students to become competent researchers and confident essayists. I look forward to working with you!
