I taught a summer ‘Foundations in Writing’ course for first-year students to prepare for college-level courses at UC Davis. I created unique lessons and in-class materials for teaching both narrative and academic research essays. I also coordinated with other writing specialists to create rubrics and grading policies across the curriculum. This opportunity was given to me after my work as a writing tutor from January 2016 to August 2017, meeting one-on-one with students for essay, personal statement and thesis writing.
