Consultants

---

Beatrice Crespo (she/her)

I am a senior in the Art and Design and Glass Engineering programs. I approach everything systematically, and am especially inclined towards technical writing (lab reports, scientific papers, artwork analyses) because I can just follow the rules and systems that have already been laid out for me. My goal as a Writing Center consultant is to help students take advantage of the 'rules' of writing and understand how the rules can sometimes be manipulated to fit their voice.

Alfie Koenig (they/them)

Hello! I’m Alfie, and I am a sophomore English major. My favorite things in the world are ducks, books, and chai lattes. I spend my free time reading and learning Czech. I hope to be an editor after I graduate.

Delia Logan (any pronouns)

Hi, my name is Delia, and I'm a junior English major. While I wasn't much of a writer in high school, I've come to really enjoy writing literary analysis through college. In my free time I enjoy reading (mostly fantasy), and over the summer I've gotten really into the Legend of Zelda. I also love music and can almost always be found with headphones in.

Gabriella Rodriguez (she/her)

 Hello, I am Gabriella Rodriguez and I am a sophomore English major with a Theatre minor. I really enjoy working out and staying active, as well as hanging out with my friends. In my down time, you can find me diving into a good book. I know it's cliché, but I enjoy genres like romance and fantasy. That's not to say I don’t enjoy other types of novels--I like a little bit of everything. I am also quite enthusiastic about writing, especially creative writing and poetry.

Alyra Rain (she/her)

Hi, I'm Rain! I'm a senior English major, and I love to read and write. I also like listening to music, crocheting little creatures, playing games on my Switch, and hanging out with friends. Lately, I’ve been rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender!

Cori Recktenwald (they/them)

 I am a sophomore majoring in English. I love reading and I’m currently working my way through The Witcher series. I enjoy both analytical and creative writing. If I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably DMing a game of D&D for my friends back home, drawing, or doing something rugby related.

Alyssa Seegert (she/her)

Ella Thompson (she/her)

I am a junior English major with a love for creative writing. I primarily write free verse poetry but enjoy practicing other genres as well. Outside of school, I spend my time listening to music and talking with friends. When I’m home in Washington, I can be found cuddling with my cats, walking through the forest, or helping with my family’s dahlia business. The West Coast really is the best!

Director:

Chloe Hansen

I am in my third year as the Director of the Writing Center, and I also teach in the English Department. I have a background in Communication and Rhetoric, and my research focuses on public discourse, visual rhetoric and end-of-life communication. I am from Oregon originally and, I have to say, the West Coast is better (when it's not on fire)! When not in the basement of Seidlin, I'm usually reading sci-fi/fantasy, watching sports, playing board games, or chasing my young children around.
