Jennifer Chalmers

I am not sure what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, but I do know that my greatest passion is finding a way to express ideas clearly through writing. I love to find the words to convey my thoughts and emotions exactly as I experience them. In the Writing Center, I hope to help my peers to do that as well.

Working at the Writing Center has not only allowed me to help others with their writing, but it has also helped me with my own.
