Our Staff:
Janet Goldberg, Writing Lab Coordinator
Janet is the coordinator of the Writing Lab. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Mills College, she has been teaching and tutoring at GGU for several years. She has also taught at Mills College, JFK University, and for Peralta Community College District. Her essays, stories, and poems have appeared in literary magazines and academic journals.
Jessica Stiles, Tutor
After earning her BA in English from Wesleyan University, Jessica worked at
the San Francisco County Jail, where she taught literature and personal
essay writing to incarcerated mothers. Since then, she has received her MFA
in Nonfiction Writing from Columbia University, and taught and tutored
creative and analytical writing to students of various ages and abilities,
including Columbia PhD candidates, Korean MBA applicants, and Bay Area high
school students. In addition to working in the Writing Lab, Jessica is a
GGU OWL tutor. She lives in the Presidio, San Francisco's national park,
with her husband T.J. (author of *Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War*)
and Dillon, their infant son.
Julianne Leigh, Tutor
In addition to tutoring at the GGU Writing Lab, Julianne teaches English composition at the Peralta Community College District. In her spare time she writes poetry and studies feline linguistic behavior and its effect on the human psyche. Studies show the cat's purr has a calming effect on humans and can even lower a person's heart rate. Julianne is certain that the Writing Lab's friendly, constructive atmosphere has been known to produce the same stress-reducing effect on GGU students!
