When I’m not doing schoolwork, I love to read. I also love running, so I’m a member of the cross country team.

Mary Ann Smith

I’m Mary Ann Smith, a 6 year Writing Center veteran. My current major is Philosophy, which comes after my degrees in Environmental Science and Biochemistry. Hopefully this fall, I’ll be staying in Scranton to start my Masters in Theology. Though you can usually find me in the CTLE, I am sometimes wandering around campus before heading either to Madonna della Strada Chapel for Music Ministries rehearsals or to Houlihan-McLean (aka Boga’s) for Singers Rehearsal. When I’m not helping students with papers or chemistry it seems, I’m teaching a class for one of the local universities. If you are new to the University or returning to campus, then welcome and come by the Writing Center to set one an appt, meet with a consultant or just to get used to the facilities. I hope to see you soon and wish you the best with the semester.

Karen Waldeck

Karen Waldeck recently completed an undergraduate study of sacred texts of all kinds, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Scranton in Spring '09 with majors in English Literature and Theology. Karen now focuses her insatiable desire for education on graduate pursuits, working toward the teaching Masters here at da U. Like a cat or new age spiritualist Karen has had many lives. She formerly majored in Speech Communication and Rhetoric at SUNY Cortland and spent two decades as a Market Research Executive in Philadelphia. Outside the Writing Center Karen occupies herself as wife to the neuroscientist Dr. Robert Waldeck, mom to the remarkable Benjamin Waldeck and chief caretaker to two cats, two dogs and two surprisingly enjoyable rats. Inside the Writing Center such occupations rarely arise.

Bradley Wierbowski

I am a sophomore Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology and English double-major in the Honors Program. In my free time (when I can find it!), I enjoy reading, watching movies, doodling, and attempting to write short stories. Given the nature of my majors, I’m pretty familiar with the unique styles of both science writing and literary analysis; so whether you’re looking for help with your Microbiology lab report or with your paper in Restoration/18th Century Lit, feel free to stop by and set up an appointment!
