As Dean of the Learning Commons at TCC's Northwest campus, I work to integrate Library services and resources with Learning Support services. Through thoughtful and intentional planning, I strive to harmonize these areas in order to enhance the student academic experience.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States

As Director of the Learning Commons, I cultivate a seamless service model that includes testing, tutoring, the library, and user (tech) support. I use a collaborative framework to foster positive relationships across the college in order to provide an outstanding learning experience for all students at HACC.

In this role, I oversee peer tutoring, supplemental instruction, and the writing center; recruit, hire, train, and evaluate about thirty student workers; lead assessment efforts of tutors, consultants, and other programs in the University College; and develop new programs as needed. My work with the writing center, in particular, has been exceptional. In the writing center, we offer services in three modalities: face-to-face, asynchronous online, and synchronous video chat. We also offer a writing lab, a walk-in service where students can work independently on an assignment and ask for assistance as they complete their projects. Under my leadership, the writing center’s face-to-face traffic increased 100% from fall 2017 to fall 2018 and the asynchronous traffic has increased about 36%. I collect and report this data regularly to my supervisor and other university stakeholders. I work hard at building relationships with faculty, hosting meetings or workshops to demonstrate the value of writing center work.

As an online instructor, I prepare lectures via Panopto and load these onto Blackboard for students to access. I provide instruction on the kinds of documents students may be asked to create once they enter a workplace: business memos, persuasive e-mails, proposals, and so on. I evaluate student work based on rubrics that emphasize clarity and correct formatting, though I also look for creativity and strength of ideas.

For this class, I focused on reading skills and strategies. I focused on making lectures interactive, so I asked a lot of questions, did collaborative classwork, and had students read out loud from their own writing. Reflective journaling was a key feature for the class, particularly for getting students to reflect on what they were learning. I taught four sections in the fall of 2014 and led workshops after the eight-week courses were over.

I directly supervised seventeen peer tutors, organized their schedules, and reserved rooms as needed. I digitized many of our workflow processes such as signing students in for sessions, writing reports about student progress, and tracking student participation. I ensured that enough tutors were hired to meet student demand and that all tutors had gone through the training process.My biggest accomplishments in this position include increasing the accuracy with which we tracked student participation and signing in students electronically rather than on paper. These along with my willingness to take on extra projects like marketing designs aided me in my eventual promotion to Manager of Testing and Tutoring.

I was the instructor for freshmen and sophomore writing courses. I created my own syllabus, lesson plans, and writing assignments. Students engaged in daily reflective writing on course content or related issues such as adapting to college life and what students wanted out of their college education. I gave lectures that tied relevant topics to rhetorical concepts, e.g. examining perfume music videos for instances of ethos and pathos. I shared rubrics openly with students in order to communicate my expectations for them. The most satisfying event in this role was watching a student with weak writing skills gain confidence in their writing. I ended up teaching this person again as a sophomore.

I was selected to lead an editorial team consisting of other graduate students. Together, we read through about 200 manuscripts, which included poetry, short stories, and flash fiction. At least three people read each submission and voted "yes" or "no" to a piece. I read through all the pieces and acted as a tie breaker when the two previous readers voted differently. I also interacted directly with all the poets and writers who submitted their manuscripts to us. I solicited pieces and also informed people if their writing had been selected or rejected for publication.My most satisfying moment was convincing someone who had written us off as a literary magazine to submit a few pieces.
