During my time at Dartmouth, I’ve had the opportunity to refine my writing skills in various disciplines and styles, including scientific writing, research proposals, public policy writing, and writing in multimedia contexts, among others. These experiences have helped me become a more versatile thinker, as I’ve become comfortable expressing my thoughts through multiple sets of rhetorical norms. They’ve also helped me nurture my passion for communications work. The more I write, the more I realize how fulfilling it can be to find precisely the right words to deliver a compelling message. Please see here writing samples from my undergraduate years:
