for peer review, providing feedback, and revision for each project using Eli Review. I also guide students as they engage in crafting remix projects for specific audiences.

Graduate Teaching Associate. ENGL 191: Introduction to Rhetorical & Analytical Writing. Department of English, St. Cloud State University. August 2012-May 2014.

>> English 191 introduces students to the theory, principles, and processes of effective written communication typically encountered in college courses. Emphasis is placed upon analytical reading and writing, discussion, and student-to-student evaluation of written arguments. My approach to this course centered on critical questions of communication technologies, digital literacy, and visual rhetoric, and I guided students as they remixed/remediated arguments for audiences outside the academy.

Assistant Language Teacher. English Language and Communication (grades 7-9). Watari Board of Education-Kamei Corporation (Sendai, Japan). August 2011-March 2012.

>> Serving public junior high schools in rural Japan, I assisted Japanese Teachers of English in English language and communication instruction. Specific focus was placed on activities and assignments designed to encourage spoken proficiency, vocabulary, writing skills, and cultural sharing.

Undergraduate Writing Consultant. The Write Place, Department of English, St. Cloud State University. May 2010-May 2011.

>> As a writing consultant, I employed a nondirective approach to tutoring as I aided writers completing a wide range of texts for diverse audiences, purposes, and contexts. I enjoyed working with second language writers specifically, eventually facilitating nearly 500 tutorials with writers who represented over 60 first languages. I also led writing center tours for visiting students and published handouts focused on topics of interest to second language writers.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant. CMST 192: Introduction to Communication Studies, Department of Communication Studies, St. Cloud State University. January-May 2011.

>> As a teaching assistant for a required speech communication course, I led a group of nine first-year students to success under the supervision of a professor. My primary activities involved facilitating weekly discussion sessions based on theory and applications, engaging in regular conferences with students, grading essays, and maintaining grades.
