Tutors
Raghav Agrawal (he/him)
Senior • Economics, Environmental Sciences & Applied Mathematics
I am from Mumbai, India, and I have a soft-spot for history and creative non-fiction, but a growing affinity for writing within the social sciences! I am stoked to be a part of the writing center; every session is something different! I am so happy to learn something new as writers continue their journey!
Natalie Bernstein
Junior • Psychology & Political Science
I absolutely love writing, but I love helping other people with their writing even more! My interests intersect the humanities and the social sciences, so I have experience both with more creative, humanistic writing like short stories and academic/research-focused writing like essays, personal statements, and grant applications. I am excited to help students with any writing, whether it be academic, creative, or research-focused!

I enjoy reading social science literature, journaling, and learning about different languages.
Yara Changyit-Levin (they/them)
Senior • Public Health & Anthropology
My favorite types of writing are creative fiction, personal narratives, and historical research papers. I love writing plays for Witness Theater on campus in my free time, and I’m working on a science fiction novel. I’m excited to see what you’re bringing to the Writing Center!
Naomi Crane
Junior • Neuroscience
I’m excited to work with students across writing genres, from creative pieces and academic essays to personal statements and more. My goal is to offer guidance and support, and I look forward to helping each individual develop their voice, refine their skills, and achieve their writing goals!
Elizabeth Deng

I love reading and writing philosophy essays, research reports, and op-eds. During my free time I enjoy working out, creating floral arrangements, and going to Trade Joe’s. I look forward to working with you on any genre and at any stage of the writing process!
Tola Fadeyi (she/her)
Senior • Neuroscience & Psychology
My fortes are in personal statements, creative writing pieces, and analysis or argumentative essays. Outside the writing center, I’m a member of JHU’s Bluejays and Poets and write short fiction and poetry in my spare time. Exploring different mediums of writing and guiding students to create strong voices within their pieces are a passion of mine so I’m excited to help!
Laura Fan (she/her)
Senior • Public Health
I enjoy writing as a way of communicating with others and creatively expressing or sharing ideas. My favorite part of the writing process is the outlining and brainstorming, particularly when it’s with other people. I look forward to working with you!
Anna Han (she/her)
Senior • Neuroscience & MSH
I enjoy helping tutees with just about any type of writing, including creative pieces, academic essays, and applications. In my free time, I love writing flash fiction, learning the guitar, spending time with my little sister, and doing jigsaw puzzles.
Ido Harlev
Graduate student • History
Hey! I’m Ido and I’m a graduate student with a focus on history. My writing experience ranges greatly from the American Revolution, the Modern Middle East, the Civil Rights Movement, and everything in between. Chiefly, my research focuses on the impact of politics and political situations on historical memory.
Emily Hong

I currently work as a writer for the International Enforcement Law Reporter and love the creative, academic, and expressive nature of writing! I enjoy reading, going to cafes, and making Spotify playlists in my free time!
Maximilian Hsu (he/him)
Senior • Writing Seminars & Political Science
I enjoy writing across a variety of styles and mediums, particularly those with a creative focus. I’m best suited to help with humanities and social sciences papers, or anything creative including fiction, poetry, and dramatic writing. That being said, I really enjoy working with writers from outside my usual disciplines, so I’d be happy to help with anything
Dua Hussain (she/her/hers)
Senior • Anthropology & MSH
I write all across the board, from fiction to poetry to research papers to policies and articles! Most of my fiction writing falls in the realm of fantasy, but I have experience with other genres as well.
Veronica Jung
Junior • Neuroscience & English
I love writing for its diversity of expressions and its connection to literally everything. I am happy to help with all kinds of writing disciplines! In my free time, I love doing ballet, traveling, and volunteering at the Book Thing.
Francisco Pérez Marsilla
Graduate student • Modern Languages and Literatures
I study revolutionary processes in the Caribbean and in its African diaspora, particularly in Haiti. Expect your session to be generally based on a printed fragment, and with pen and paper, as you may work simultaneously on your screen. Bring questions. You will end the session ready to get your writing going!
Virankha Ann Peter
Junior • Cognitive Science & Classics
I love all kinds of writing, from personal statements and proposals to creative pieces and research papers. Outside the writing center, you’ll find me painting or puzzling over a book. Whatever stage you are in the process, I’m happy to help!
Risha Roy (she/her)

I joined the Writing Center in 2023 and primarily works with students on literary analysis papers, research papers, lab reports, and personal statements. I aim to help students of all disciplines refine their writing skills in a comfortable and engaging learning environment.
Feodora Etelier (she/her)
Junior • Molecular Cellular & Public Health
I have a strong passion for all forms of writing, from creative pieces and poetry to personal statements and research manuscripts. I enjoy helping writers find their voice, clarify their ideas, and bring their work to life. In my free time, I love reading, writing for fun, exploring Korean skincare, and spending time with friends. I’m excited to support you wherever you are in your writing process!
Natalie Wang (she/her)
Senior • English & Film and Media studies
Since joining the Writing Center in 2023, I’ve enjoyed discussing just about every mode of writing with students: critical essays, screenplays, poetry, op-eds, personal statements, and even e-mails! Please feel free to discuss your ideas with me at any stage of the writing process; I am very familiar with so-called “unusual” writing styles and creative/work habits! Outside of the center, you might find me rewatching corny silent films and exploring Baltimore’s literary scene with the JHU English Club.
Jennifer Yu (she/her)
Senior • Molecular Cellular Biology & Psychology
I’m most comfortable with writing research and personal statements, but I love working with tutees on all types of writing. Beyond academics, I love to binge-watch K-dramas, draw, and play video games.
