"Hi! My name is Alexis and I am a rising junior attending Macaulay Honors College at The City College of New York. My studies are focused in advertising and English.

My experience in writing runs deep. Throughout high school, I was the editor-in-chief of our school’s literary and art magazine Fragments. As editor-in-chief, I was in charge of designing the magazine, writing for the publication, and managing the staff.

Currently, I am a member of the Brooklyn Poets Society. The second Monday of every month, I attend the writing workshop and open mic where I speak and share my recent work on stage.

Also, I am a writing consultant and tutor at The City College Writing Center. There, I conduct one-on-one tutoring sessions of one hour each. I work with undergraduate and graduate students and help them with their essays, personal statements, cover letters, creative writing, etc.

I love working as a tutor not only because I am a person who wishes to help my peers discover the power and importance of writing, but also because it is a true pleasure to get to know my students and be a part of their journeys as writers.
