There are two things that I love, technology and writing. In todays world, technology and writing are ever more connected and as we switch from print to digital media, it is important that we keep our writing standards up to par with the great works from the 19th and the 20th century. As an English major I have been exposed to some great writings and I am glad that the digital media is slowly but surely exposing some great new writings and writers. My passion for writing helped me improve myself as a writer and my peers as well. As a writing consultant at Moraine Valley Community College, I provided editing support to students with all levels of writing competency. I guided students through the process of writing research papers, essays, poetry, laboratory reports, resumes, cover-letters, etc. I worked with the director of the Writing Center on administrative tasks and special projects, which included preparing digital advertising material for the Writing Center using various multimedia tools. Learning to write for the digital world is an amazing experience, and it opens many doors for you as a writer, which seemed impossible a few decades ago.
