Writing Tutors
For Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students, in both the traditional and College of Professional Studies learning environments, are assisted by the following tutors:
Criminal Justice Major – Psychology Minor – Legal Studies Certificate
Hi everyone! Writing is something that I have always been passionate about since I was very young. Because writing has been such a massive part of my life, I know how challenging and complex it can become. My purpose is never to shut you down or judge; my job is to help you make little changes to improve your writing and gain more confidence. Remembering that everyone starts somewhere is imminent, and there is no such thing as a “perfect writer.” As a criminal justice major and psychology minor, I am familiar with writing many reports, research papers, and analytical works. I have also completed the Legal Studies Certificate, which includes the core law classes, where case briefs and research papers are always present. I would be more than happy to assist in any literary category needed! Outside of being a tutor, I play soccer here for our women’s soccer team and am a huge Criminal Minds fan. I know that asking for extra eyes for your paper or presentation can seem a little scary, but I want to reassure you that I am super nice and here to help! Feel free to schedule as many appointments with me as you need, and I hope to see you soon!
If you would like to make an appointment with Alina Garcia outside regular walk-in or regularly scheduled hours, email her at AMGarcia01@indianatech.net.
Junior, Digital Graphics & Design major
As a digital graphics major, I am very used to coming up with creative ideas and solutions to problems, and my approach to writing is the same. I enjoy writing quite a bit and have written several short stories over the years, specifically fantasy and fiction works. Outside of being a tutor, I love listening to music, sketching, and spending time with family! I used to be a server at a couple restaurants, so I am no stranger to working with people and helping them out! I am a tutor and I am here to help you, so don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help!!

Sophomore, Criminal Justice
Hello everyone, my name is Kendall, and I am currently a sophomore here at Indiana Tech. I study criminal justice and legal studies in the hopes to one day be an aspiring criminal defense attorney. Working at the writing center not only allows me to help my peer students with whatever writing help they need, but more importantly, helping my community. One thing about me is I am trying to leave an impact on the world every single day, and being a tutor allows me to do that. Finally, I try to be the most kind and honest person I can be, so don’t be shy to make an appointment with me and allow me to guide you!
Sophomore, Criminal Justice and Psychology
I have a lot of experience with reading, writing, and editing, with a background as an editor-in-chief for my high school’s yearbook and writing and presenting arguments for Mock Trial. I have always enjoyed argumentative writing; as an aspiring criminal prosecution attorney, which is what I want to do in life! Outside of being a writing center tutor, I am also on the Track and Field and Cross Country Team here at Indiana Tech, Treasurer of Warriors for Kids, and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Psychology Club, and the Criminal Justice Society. Additionally, I am from Southern California and love country music, swimming, reading, spending time with friends and family, and photography. As a tutor, I want to help you gain confidence and learn to enjoy the process of writing. I am here to help in any way I can! I hope to see you at the Writing Center!
Director of the Writing Center
Director
Hello! My name is Dr. Brownlee, and I am the assistant director of the Writing Center. I also teach composition, creative writing and philosophy here at Tech. I believe in the mission of the Writing Center, and I think that one of the best things a person can do to get better at writing is to seek honest and encouraging feedback. You will find that valuable feedback, as well as other helpful resources, here at the Writing Center. Come see us!
Professor Brownlee is the assistant director of Indiana Tech’s Writing Center. If you have questions about the Writing Center, email him at JJBrownlee@indianatech.edu.
Assistant Director of the Writing Center
Many years ago, prior to becoming an Assistant Professor of English at Indiana Tech, I was a tutor at a writing center. I had always loved writing, but working as a tutor showed me that I also had a passion for helping people. I’m delighted to return to this work though in a slightly different role, this time supporting our tutors as they provide students with feedback on their writing. I hope you will consider scheduling an appointment with one of them to talk about your next writing project!
