Hi there!

I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a dual degree in English and communications. I adore the written word and spreading that love of it to young students. In college, I worked as both a Resident Advisor and a tutor to undergraduate and graduate students. Both opportunities gave me the chance to work with, mentor, and educate peers on curricular and co-curricular studies. Sharing my love of reading and writing is a great thrill of mine and I feel honored to get such an opportunity to do so.

In terms of academia, my dual degree lent me the chance to hone my communications skills (I now work full time at a television production company focusing on documentary-style TV) as well as my skills in English. As a result, I became well-educated in both classic literature as well as contemporary literary theory focusing on a variety of topics such as gender, media, class and social structure, and an assortment of other theories and topics (all of which I'd love to chat about if given the opportunity).

In my downtime, I love exploring and trying new things (mainly food) and I'm an avid animal lover.

Here's some additional trivia about me:
I was originally born in Texas (Air Force family)
Trying new restaurants is one of my favorite activities
Favorite movie: The Right Stuff (that Air Force family clearly had an impact on me...)
Favorite book(s): Nothing compares to the Harry Potter series, in my humble opinion
Favorite animal: My two golden retrievers, Logan and Skylar (though my cats make a decent bid for this vote)
Favorite TV show: Mad Men (nope, my company doesn't make it - but I'm genuinely hooked on this series)

I warmly encourage you to contact me! I look forward to meeting you.
-Erin
