"Hi, I’m Lola! I graduated magna cum laude (3.99 GPA) from the University of Nevada, Reno with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. I worked as a writing consultant for two years at my university’s writing center, assisting students from a variety of educational backgrounds and a diverse range of skill levels with writing assignments from academic research papers (English, communications, humanities, history, STEM, etc.), scientific literature reviews, graduate level papers or theses, speeches, presentations, journalism projects, scholarship essays and applications, resumes/cover letters, and even personal writing projects. I am a problem solver with a very sharp editorial eye and I would love to help you improve your writing at any stage—even if you haven’t written anything at all!

At the University Writing and Speaking Center, students gave me very positive feedback after our sessions. They reported that they felt more confident in their abilities and that they gained new writing skills and knowledge. They also liked that we were able to laugh together. Writing can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to suck. In fact, it shouldn’t, and if you work with me, you might even start to like it (if you don’t already).

By the end of our session, you can expect to feel more confident in your understanding of your assignment’s objectives and your ability to fulfill them. I can also help you notice underlying patterns that may be making it difficult for you to write, so that we can begin to instill more healthy writing habits catered to your individual style and needs.

Some examples of things we can work on in a session include (but are not limited to):

Modifying the organization and structure of your paper

Redirecting or narrowing your thesis or supporting points

Improving word choice and explaining concepts

Brainstorming ideas

Drafting cover letters and resumes

Editing a final draft (with explanations!)

Feel free to message me if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment." less...
