Chris is a senior from Winston-Salem, North Carolina majoring in Government with a minor in Jurisprudence, Law, & Justice studies. Outside of the Writing Center, you can catch him in the pool with the Men's Swimming and Diving team, running around in a suit and tie singing with the Buffers, or off campus hiking with Hamilton Outing Club. He loves Philadelphia sports teams, good southern cuisine, thrifting quality clothing, and he appreciates all kinds of music. If you ever spot him working in Fojo or walking on Martin's Way, don't ever be afraid to start up a conversation!

Caitlin is a junior from Ashburnham, Massachusetts, who is concentrating in Archaeology, minoring in Art, and completing the pre-med track. When she’s not in the Writing Center, you can find her in her bed—her favorite place on campus—or with her friends. She also works as a student manager at Sadove! Some things Caitlin adores are "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", the crème brûlée latte from Euphoria, her pets, decorating for Halloween, reading, making gifts for people, and painting.

Gabrielle is a senior from Cleveland, Ohio majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Math and Creative Writing. She is also part of the Nordic Ski Team, Red Weather, Book XI, The Spec, and HOC. She thinks Modern Family is the most well-written and hilarious show ever made. You can find her daily at the cooking station in Commons experimenting with how to make eggs not stick to the pan without using spray or adding new ingredients to her fried rice recipe. This is not an exaggeration; she really is there every day.

Kate is a senior from the D.C. area and a third-year Writing Center tutor. She’s double-majoring in History and Art History. When she’s not studying, you can often find her spending time outdoors (working as both an Adirondack Adventure and Outing Club leader) or at her job at the Wellin. Outside of writing, she enjoys biking along Skyline Drive, hiking in the Adirondacks (she’s hoping to summit all 46 High Peaks someday), skiing, visiting museums, and exploring new places.

Norma is a senior from Houston, Texas—yeehaw partner AND yes, she is still cool—who is concentrating in ethnomusicology through an interdisciplinary music, Japanese, and Hispanic Studies major. Besides residing in the Writing Center, you can find this friendly gremlin at home in the new and renewed mail center, the dark corners of the library (shelving books or scanning them hehe), or in a little room hidden in the music department, most likely doing music homework. If you still can’t find her, it’s okay–no one ever can because she’s always on the run, most likely in choir; playing her flute, her guitar, or the piano in the practice rooms of Schambach; or writing songs and listening to music on blast in her dorm. She is the president of Tropical Sol, Hamilton’s only Latin dance group, where she dances and teaches salsa and bachata. She is also one of the co-Editors-In-Chief of Culture Magazine. Her babies (these clubs) mean the world to her, so she may be enjoying life there, too, if you ever track her down.

Senna is a senior from Massachusetts majoring in Environmental Studies. When she’s not in the Writing Center, she loves to read Octavia Butler, hang out with her dog, and run around campus collecting donations for Hamilton’s Closet. She loves fall because it means she gets to eat Hamilton-provided Cider Mill donuts.

Jason is a sophomore from Queens majoring in Sociology with a minor in Education studies. Outside of the Writing Center, you might spot him flying in the air to slam a volleyball, gluttonizing Asian food through the ASU, and consuming fantasy books in his secret campus nook. You will most likely catch him at Fojo chatting with the baristas while sipping an iced chai from Euphoria.

Beyond the Writing Center and the classroom, he is a member of the men's lacrosse team and enjoys writing, running, hiking, and really any outdoor activity. He enjoys reading fiction and will recommend Kurt Vonnegut any chance he gets. He has a passion for movies and music and is always looking for suggestions as to what to watch/listen to next!

Ananna is a sophomore from Binghamton, New York (but she'll always rep her hometown in Queens). She is currently planning to major in Psychology with a minor in Biology and is a part of HamVotes, Know Thyself, and ROOTS on campus.

Rory is a Biochemistry and Russian Studies double major from New York City. As Secretary of Teremok Russian Club, Cheburashka holds a special place in his heart. When he’s not in the Writing Center or the lab, you can find him playing with hacked Tamagotchis, drawing, or composing sketches on cheap DAWs. You’ll be able to spot him anywhere on campus by his poofy hair and welcoming demeanor—plus, if you ever need a hug, he’s always got time!

Diana is from San Jose, California. She intends to double-major in Creative Writing and Government. Ask her about her tote bags (which she loves but doesn't use often), or maybe what she's cooked recently (where she will give you a step-by-step description); just don't ask about her WIP (she will cry). If you're trying to find her, good luck (she's not sure where she is half the time either). If found, don't hesitate to say hi (she's always looking for some excuse to yap!).

As JJ says, “If you’re not Croc’n, you're not Rock’n!” His favorite music genre is Christian Hip Hop and he can often be found listening to nobigdyl on repeat. He’s an avid Miami Heat fan, fledgling tea addict (the beverage!), poet (and he knows it *snap snap*), and professional amateur ukulele-ist. JJ can be found in many diverse environments including but not limited to: Sadove Sunporch with Hamilton Christian Fellowship, Darkside hanging out with his advisees as a CA, and the Writing Center (obviously). If you ever spot him in real life, don’t be afraid to greet him! He responds to English and Spanish. :)
