EDUCATION

Date: August 15, 2005 – May 15, 2009
School: University of Saint Joseph
Degree: Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Language, Literature, and Linguistics; French minor
Description: My BA was a self-designed major catered to my interests. It also included advanced coursework and study in Creative Writing, particularly poetry. My degree included the coursework I completed at the University of Saint Joseph and other institutions I attended through the Hartford Consortium for Higher Education. These institutions included the University of Hartford, Trinity College, and Central Connecticut State University. I completed courses in Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Language Acquisition, Middle English, Chaucer, Japanese, and others. I also completed coursework through my study-abroad experience at the University of York in York, England. This coursework involved being a part of the English Language and Literature Department, Linguistics Department, and School of Modern Languages. Courses included Formal Semantics, Japanese, French, and Anglo-Saxon/Old English Literature and Historiography courses. Some notable courses I took at the University of Saint Joseph include Honors Literary Criticism and Theory, Honors Shakespeare, Renaissance Lyric Poetry, Early Modern Women Writers, Advanced Poetry, and the History of the English Language.

My French minor involved Advanced Grammar and Conversation classes, as well as Medieval French Literature, independent study, and cultural courses. Prior to university, I had studied the language extensively, although my pronunciation and expertise were further refined at university, especially during one-on-one courses and independent study courses. Due to the small class sizes (typically less than three to six students), my studies were highly individualized and precise.

School: University of Glasgow
Degree: Master of Letters Degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Description: The MLitt degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is a highly interdisciplinary and specialized masters degree which incorporated training and study in a variety of disciplines related to Medieval and Renaissance Studies. It involved training and participation from several departments and schools at the University of Glasgow. Primarily, the program was part of the College of the Arts — Graduate School and the School of Critical Studies, but faculty from other areas of the university were also involved in the program. The MLitt in Medieval and Renaissance Studies Postgraduate Programme incorporated coursework in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Faculty from Archaeology, History, Art History, Linguistics, English Language, English Literature, Classical Studies, Religion, Celtic and Gaelic Studies, and other relevant departments were involved in teaching and training the students in this program. As a postgraduate student of the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Programme, I participated in research and training as part of the Glasgow Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and through association with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities. Some examples of areas of expertise for this discipline include but are not limited to: comparative archaeology, palaeography, art history, history, comparative literature, ancient languages and cultures, historical linguistics/philology, mythological studies, folklore studies, and Celtic and Gaelic studies. My particular expertise focuses on ancient languages and cultures and a range of other disciplines, including mythology and folklore.

EXPERIENCE

Date: January 15, 2008 – September 15, 2009
Organization: The Center for Academic Excellence at the University of Saint Joseph
Title: Undergraduate Content and Interdisciplinary Writing Tutor; Writing Associate; Online Professional Writing Tutor
Description: I performed in the capacity of an Undergraduate Content Tutor for various subjects, mainly English Language, Literature, Linguistics, and French. I also provided content support in Fine Arts, Art History, Religion, Astronomy and Astrophysics courses, and other areas. As an Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Writing Tutor, I assisted students with writing and research for all subjects in one-on-one tutorials.

I completed a year-long internship as an in-class tutor and teaching assistant, known as a Writing Associate. In this capacity, I assisted professors in multiple departments with specific classes and completed the work of a Graduate Teaching Assistant while still an undergraduate student. I offered weekly office hours, aided students in one-on-one tutorials, facilitated and taught study groups, lectures, and seminars to review and revise course material. I acted as mediator between the professor and their students, relaying progress reports, concerns, issues, and successes. I also took notes, provided supplemental handouts and data for students from lectures, and attended all classes. My work as a Writing Associate involved assisting the professor with their teaching duties and instructing students in the course, providing insight and subject matter expertise to supplement the professor’s teachings, and helping students prepare for research projects, exams, and other assessment forms. As a Writing Associate, I also independently taught several courses in the professor’s absence while the professor was away at a conference. I received substantial training in education, research, pedagogy, and related competencies required of teachers and professors.

Work as a Writing Associate was separate from the work I did through the Work-Study Program as an Undergraduate Content and Writing Tutor. I also provided support for Honors students as a member of the university’s Honors Program. I trained and was employed by the Center for Academic Excellence as an Online Professional Writing Tutor before graduation. I also was an exemplary writing student, having been one of only two students in my graduating class to receive the highest mark of 5 on my required Writing Portfolio. Typically, this award is only given to one student a year, but I was one of two exceptional students who received this honor in my class.
