5. How has being a WWC tutor affected your own writing?
It has ameliorated my writing by large amounts; I've been able to reevaluate my writing process through helping others with their writing. I've been surrounded with a fantastic support system of writers and tutors, and tutoring has introduced me to types of writing I have never seen before.

6. If you were an ice cream, what flavor would you be and why?
Cookies & Cream mixed with Fudge mixed with Cookie Dough mixed with love topped with rainbow sprinkles

7. If you could be best friends with any celebrity who would it be and why?
 Nonliving celebrities would include Harvey Milk and Rosa Parks, as they were both instrumental to the expansion of human rights and were people I would genuinely like to know. Living celebrities would include Harper Lee and Jodi Picoult as they are two of my favorite writers and I would love to discuss literature with them.
