My name is Trisha. I was born in Kansas, raised mostly in central New York. My undergraduate degree is from ECU and I have a master's from West Texas A&M University. Currently I'm working on the completion of a second master's as well as a doctoral degree, both from ECU. Upon completion I hope to teach policy analysis and persuasion in a technical writing program at the university level. When I have time to spare, I enjoy reading and travel. I am a Declaration of Independence buff and enjoy studying the history behind its inception.

Steven is from Winterville, NC. He has always been an avid reader and occasional writer. When began his freshman year at ECU, he immediately changed his intended major from psychology to english because of the great experience he had in the classrooms, with students and with teachers. After graduating with a B.A. in English, he took the G.R.E and applied for the English Grad program at ECU with a concentration in literature. Once getting accepted, he enrolled in two courses and began an assistantship here in the Writing Studio. He is very excited about working with younger students to help instill confidence into their writing skills. Once he graduates with an M.A. he plans to work as a teacher in primary schools or perhaps community college while he works on his Ph.D. Working as a journalist would also be an exciting career. He enjoys music, movies, Frisbee golf, poetry, and experimental fiction.

I am a first-year graduate student at ECU, studying for a Master’s degree in English; though I am unsure what I want to concentrate in, I would like either to write or to teach.  I graduated in May 2007 from Mars Hill College, a small, private 4-year liberal arts college in western North Carolina, with high honors.  Originally from another small town north of Raleigh, I have found Greenville to be a big change from my previous ‘hometowns’.

My name is Scott, I’m from Weaverville, NC (a little North of Asheville) and I went to UNC-Asheville for my undergraduate work.  I’m at ECU for my MA degree in Literature and I plan to go on from there for a PhD and teach eventually.  I enjoy reading and have many favorite authors, my very favorite currently being Robert Coover and I also like to write a little when I have a can.  When I have time I enjoy going to Lake Keowee to relax, fish, ski, and ride jet-skis.  I have a wonderful fiancé who lives in Vanceboro and is going to school to be a pharmacist.  I also like going home when I can and visiting my family.
