About Me

As a professional and academic in English studies, I've earned a B.A. in English at the University of Houston Victoria, and I am currently working on my M.A. in English with a concentration in Writing Studies at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, and my interests lie in First-Year Writing best practices and course design. I previously worked as an English tutor/writing consultant at Victoria College.

Now to the personal. I've lived all over the country, I enjoy playing sports and running when I'm not reading something and self-caffeinating, and I write poetry and short (non)fiction. I also worked for six years as an auto technician. I firmly believe my time working on cars and with folks in the auto industry continues to inform my studies and practice.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me via email at egross@islander.tamucc.edu. I'm always here and happy to help, and I will follow-up with you as soon as possible.
