Tiffany Rousculp is the director of the Community Writing Center. She also teaches writing and linguistics for the English Department at Salt Lake Community College where she landed 13 years ago after finishing graduate school in Los Angeles. It was in L.A. that she first worked with the community in writing: 25 junior high students in the barrios of South Central L.A writing a book about their school. She founded the CWC and has taken it on the road to other colleges/universities that are starting their own community writing centers based on this model. She writes and publishes in two vastly different worlds: academia and thinly-disguised memoir posing as fiction.

Andrea Malouf is the CWC Advisory Committee coordinator. She also teaches writing for the English department at Salt Lake Community College. During the last 11 years, she's worked as a magazine journalist, an editor-in-chief of five publications, an information designer, a literary arts volunteer with many local organizations, and a mom. She writes fiction and nonfiction when time permits (usually between midnight and 2 a.m.).



The Writing Assistants at the CWC come from diverse backgrounds and have each receive extensive training in writing coaching, workshop facilitation, and collaboration.

Shannon Bell currently attends Salt Lake Community College with intentions of transferring to the University of Utah. Although she has many different interests, Shannon feels declaring a major to be a commitment she cannot keep. She spends her time as part time student, writing assistant and full time dog mom.

Rachel Jardine first spoke with an incessant series of questions aimed at every adult she could find. As a child, she was often perplexed and deeply troubled by the inequalities she saw displayed in all kinds of situations. Her questions and studies led her to piece together the unsettling truth that her privileges--home, education, wealth--and our entire society were built on the back of another. She has returned to the SLCC Community Writing Center because of her belief in their work.

Robbi Poulson is working on her life plan of becoming an eerie recluse living on the outskirts of some unfortunate small town. Since even hermits need money, she is working diligently toward a BS in Economics with the aspiration of attending law school. Robbi enjoys both her part-time jobs, and is one of those annoying people who cannot wait to get to work. She charitably dedicates most of her free time to babysitting her husband and friends (four-legged, biped and imaginary).

Jeremy Ethan Remy is the Communications Specialist for the SLCC Community Writing Center. He also works as a freelance writer, editor and graphic design artist. He and his wife live in a home at an undisclosed location, which they rebuilt with strength of will and excessive plaster. There he inscribes tales of a bizarre nature, and she paints images of strange dystopias, all while their furry children live a life of leisure.

Christina Smith has always known that she wanted to live the English Major's Bohemian lifestyle of writing all day and thinking deep thoughts while staring into the depths of her hot chocolate, she has come to realize that, romantic as that notion may be, creditors still demand payment on time. While working her dream job at the CWC, Christina is devising a devious plan to escape the "real world" by retuning to school to earn her MA or PhD in English as soon as possible.


Ken Simin hails from Michigan originally. He moved to Utah to learn to ski but stayed because of the mountain biking. As the new Vista (Volunteers In Service To America), he will primarily focus his efforts on strengthening the current CWC partnerships and branching out to make new ones. His goal for this year and beyond: Live the change that you wish to see in the world. He loves dark chocolate and is accident prone.



Riley Oliphant is the high school summer prisoner--er--intern from the Academy for Math, Engineering, and Science. Her duties include, but are not limited to, anything anyone can come up with. While finding refuge in writing late at night, she wakes up every day to find that reality continues to ruin her life. She would like to encourage you to use the CWCs faculties so there can be more for her to do.
