About Me: I grew up in SE Portland. I was always a pretty good kid, but I do remember getting in trouble at a young age for pressing too many typewriter keys at the same time and gumming up my Mom’s precious manual typewriter that way. I think I always knew that writing was my destiny! Now I have my happily ever after as an English Professor, and tapping away on a keyboard is an essential part of my job.

Class Description:
How can you use language most effectively to reach your audience and meet your goals? This class will help you answer that question as you complete weekly writing projects and quizzes. The course involves reading, reflection, & experimenting with various styles and types of writing: essays, memoir, memos, editorials, blogs, letters, memes, graphic novels, & infographics. No matter what you plan to major in, you’ll become a savvy and flexible writer, able to apply your Writing 121 skills to any future writing task.
Typical WR 121 student comments include:
- “I wish that I’d learned this method for reading years ago!”
- “I learned things in this class that I’ve never heard before.”
- “This class offered space for freedom and creativity. I understand myself better and I feel like a ‘real’ writer now.”
