Our Staff

Christine Gregory
DWS Director

As the Director of the Digital Writing Studio, I am here to help support faculty in planning and designing digital writing assignments. I have been teaching in FIU’s Writing Program since I was a graduate Linguistics student in 2009, and I have been a full-time instructor since 2011. I teach various digital projects in my Writing/Rhetoric and Linguistics courses — e-portfolios, video interviews, blogs – where I emphasize rhetorically-minded design that allows students to critically examine the genre, media, and audience for their projects.

Fall 2024 Consultants

Emily Aliana Herrera
I am a senior at FIU pursuing a Bachelor’s in English with a focus in Rhetoric, and a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Through personal experience and practice I have learned to adapt my writing into something enjoyable and entertaining for each audience. My preferred style of writing is more creative where I can let my imagination run wild and let my thoughts marinate on paper. I occasionally post poetry as well as photography through Instagram and Twitter. AT The Digital Writing Studio, I hope I can apply my skills and experience to help students produce media that can tap into and evoke emotions within different audiences.
