WaCC Tutors

Cecilia Negash
WaCC Lead
Major: Educational Studies
I’m excited to meet new people through the WaCC and work collaboratively while continuing to grow both academically and personally. I enjoy taking photos on my digital camera and capturing meaningful moments, then printing my favorites for a photo wall in my room. One challenge I’ve faced is asking for help. I avoided going to the WaCC during my freshman year even when it would have benefited me. I’m working on this and hope my time here will help me improve.

Morgan Fu-Mueller
WaCC Lead
Major: Community Psychology
I enjoy exploring the many ways people write and the topics they’re passionate about. I also love guiding others through the process of balancing prompts, personal voice, and meaningful ideas. My main hobby is picking up new interests. Right now I’m into DC Comics, K-pop, 9-1-1, and writing fanfiction. I’ve struggled with time management and motivation, especially when I don’t connect with an assignment’s purpose, but seeking support has made a big difference.

Nya Maddox
WaCC Lead
Major: Media & Communication Studies
I enjoy working through writing problems with students because it challenges me to think in new ways and helps build their confidence while improving my own skills. I spend my free time collaging, listening to music and audiobooks, playing games with friends, visiting cafes, reading, and watching movies. My main academic struggles are procrastination and finding motivation, as getting started is often the hardest part for me.

Marika Radlauer
WaCC Lead
Major: MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics
I’m excited to help my peers strengthen their unique voices and build confidence in their writing. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, collaging, altering and dyeing clothes, and making toys for my cat. I’ve always struggled with deciding on a topic for my essays.

Liam Hunter
Degrees: BA in Law, Economics, & Public Policy
I enjoy seeing students’ unique writing styles and engaging in research discussions through their individual perspectives. I like strategic, competitive video games, played tennis for six years, and have an interest in poetry. I also can’t imagine winter without relaxing with a cat in a warm kotatsu. I struggle with Scantron tests, as the format and constant back-and-forth tend to negatively impact my performance, even on writing-related questions.
