Justin
I'm a first-year apparel design major and first-year writing consultant. My authorial background is more creative than academic, with my preferred form being stage plays. I enjoy worldbuilding, as well as writing narratives and rules for tabletop games which I design. I also compose music in my free time, although I do not yet play an instrument and lyrics elude me. I look forward to helping you sharpen your writing skills!

Shelley
I received my bachelor's and master's degree in English from Texas Tech University and have over 20 years' experience teaching writing to students. I enjoy working with students in all genres of writing, including personal statements, resumes, and dissertations. I strive to bring compassion, empathy, and a motivational spirit to our sessions. When I have leisure time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, relaxing with my pets, and fostering animals until they find their forever homes.

Isabel
I am a global studies major on the pre-medicine track. Emergency medicine is my career goal, but language has always been my main passion. I'm double minoring in Russian and Arabic, which will be my third and fourth languages! Aside from the UWC, I am also involved in the Arabic Language Student Organization, Latin Dance Club, TrUE Research Scholars, and AMSA. In my free time, I do Brazilian Jiujitsu and longboard aimlessly around campus while listening to music. I'm very excited to work with y'all!

Dustin
Howdy Y'all! I was born in Texas, Amarillo to be exact, and moved to Lubbock during high school. I then moved to Santa Fe, NM for my undergrad, majoring in Liberal Arts. After that, I moved to East Asia (China and Taiwan) for 14 years to teach English and study Chinese. While living in Taiwan, I got an MA in English Literature and Languages. After moving back to Lubbock, I got an MA in Applied Linguistics at Tech. Now my family lives in Austin so my daughter can go to a Chinese immersion school. As you may have surmised, I'm interested in language, communication, culture, and literature and spend a lot of my free time reading when I'm not walking my dog or playing with my daughter. I've worked with the Writing Centers of Texas Tech for five years now and love helping students become better writers!

I am in my second year at Texas Tech majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing and a minor in psychology. I am very passionate about music and learning music theory.
