About Me:
Hello, I’m Lily! I discovered a strong passion for writing in the last couple of years, as it recently occurred to me that I loved voicing my perspective regarding humanitarian/political issues with a pen on paper (or, really, just a keyboard with a monitor). One day, I aspire to be a journalist and hope to suggest numerous solutions to global conflicts. Other than writing, I love to create and observe art, explore, drink coffee, and play video games! I’m thrilled to be a Writing Consultant, and I can’t wait to work with you guys!!

About Me:
Hi! My name is Isabella Lehing or Izzy for short and I’m one of the several consultants in the writing center. I’m a junior who loves history, writing and music. I’ve been writing stories since the moment I could hold a pen and I particularly love writing historical fiction, horror and research essays. I was born and raised here in The Woodlands but I spend much of my free time traveling and even lived on a ship for the first couple years of my life. Part of my family is also from Mexico so I’m completely fluent in Spanish . That’s really all there is to me! I’m excited to meet all of y’all and help you guys with your papers :)

Hey everyone, I'm Amol. Throughout my life I have lived in three different states: Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas. I grew up playing baseball, surfing, and skateboarding.

I currently play baseball for the school, so most of my time is dedicated towards training and practice. Most of my free time is spent with friends or watching movies/TV shows. I am a huge Star Wars fan but my current favorite movie is Shutter Island. I love to write research papers, political/economic papers, and rhetorical analysis. Most of the papers I wrote junior year revolved around public policy and economics. I look forward to working with you guys this year and I’m interested to see what topics you will write about this year.

IHey guys, I’m Sameera! I’ve loved to write and read since I was a little kid, so I’ve mostly pursued things related to that throughout high school.

Aside from English (obviously), my major interests are history, biology, psychology… pretty much every subject that isn’t math. Other than that, I love discovering new music and traveling. Because I’ve spent so much of my life writing, I’m really familiar with all the difficulties that come with the process. Don’t worry though, the Writing Center is here to help you through it :)

Creative writing
About Me:
Hi guys:) ! My name is Ana Lucía but I go by Ana because, much like my writing style, I like to keep things short and sweet. I love creative writing, and have been writing poetry, journal entries, and short stories ever since I first got my hands on one of those dysfunctional little lock and key journals from my sister as a last minute bday present. I am very big on creative expression because I have found it offers such a unique, and beautiful way for people to express themselves. Besides reading and writing my current favorite hobby is photography, and even though I honestly have no idea what I’m doing for the whole college situation, I’m considering pursuing it as a career someday. Outside of school I like to spend my time being outdoors, napping and napping outdoors. Fun facts about me: I speak Spanish; I’ve gone to a grand total of 11 schools because of moving around, so I love being friendly and meeting new people.
Favorite things: Friends (tv show); Donald Glover; Tyler; the creator; and the air/weather/ feeling just before a storm starts.

Structure and organization
About Me:
Hi. My name is Sophia Shaker. Yes, like salt shaker. I’ve heard all the jokes before. While writing can be the death of me, I love the feeling of when you get in the groove and thoughts and ideas start spewing out of your brain and suddenly you can’t stop the rhythm of the typing. It makes writing less of a chore, less of a school assignment, and more of a tool of humanity. I also sing. A lot. I was born in Houston, then moved to Indonesia, then moved to Libya, then moved to Singapore, then I came here in 2018. Unlike most siblings, I am very close with my older brother and sister. I also really like boba.

About Me:
Sup, I’m Luis, I’m currently a junior here at TWHS. I enjoy writing a lot but at the same time, I understand the struggle of erasing everything I write because “I don’t like it”! Kind of like choosing an instagram caption. Trust me, I know what you’re going through and I’m here to help. I’m happy to give my best shot with any writing assignment you’ve got! In my own time, I play soccer with the school and a club, and coach youth basketball and soccer teams. I’m definitely as busy as I’m making it sound, but I will always make time for anybody that needs help! Thanks for choosing The Writing Center, and if you’re looking for me, I shouldn’t be too hard to find!
Ms. Clark
WRITING CENTER DIRECTOR
​
About Me:
Maybe you’ve seen me in the halls. I’m the one with the purple hair… no, silver… no, pink… Wait, what day of the week is it? Oh yeah, no hair.
I teach because I love people. I teach English because I love language. I love the etymology of words, the cadence, the musicality of them. Sometimes, when I’m reading, I have to stop and hug the book to show my appreciation for a beautifully crafted sentence.
My go-to shows are The Office (Pam and Dwight > Pam and Jim. Don’t @ me), Parks and Rec, and Friends. (I’d like to think I’m a Phoebe, but I’m probably a Ross.) Dave Grohl is my hero.

We also understand that sharing your writing can be stressful, and we are here to make collaboration not just painless but enjoyable. Our consultants are enthusiastic and anxious to help.
