• Amelia Adank:

Howdy y’all! My name is Amelia Adank and I use she/her/hers pronouns. I am a junior at MSUM majoring in Communication Arts and Literature Education with a minor in Religious Studies. I hope to be an English teacher or an epic Librarian in the future. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, shopping at Costco, making new friends, watching documentaries about Ancient Egypt, and much more. I love reading and watching all sorts of diverse materials to be able to be open-minded/creative, which is a very important aspect of writing I think! My goal as a tutor here is to help students find their own unique ideas/analyses and clearly communicate that to others. I can be quite helpful in brainstorming, MLA formatting, and hopefully some grammar stuff too :) Come find me if you need some help! 

• D. Elstad, Head Tutor:

Hi, my name is D.! I'm currently a junior who is studying English with a writing emphasis and is minoring in Film Production. I'm very passionate about literature and film, despite having my own grievances with the current direction each of these mediums have been going the past decade. While educated on formal English practices, my personal work excels when it comes to subjects that are heavily influenced by humor and satire. I care very deeply about writing and literature, and I hope to share that love wherever it may be needed.

• Ruth Langford:

Hello! My name is Ruth Langford, and I am majoring in Communication Arts and Literature Education here at MSUM. I am hoping to be an English teacher so helping you with your paper is an extremely valuable experience for me! I enjoy many kinds of literature and writing but creative writing, science fiction, and poetry are some of my favorites. In my free time I love to read, hang out with friends, volunteer, travel, and go hiking. I love coffee, and I work as a barista part time. If you need some assistance with any part of your essay, I would love to help!
