Emily Hegedus, Graduate Writing Consultant B.S. Geoenvironmental Studies 2021, Shippensburg University M.S. Geoenvironmental Science & Sustainability 2023, Shippensburg University Hello! I’m Emily. I recently graduated from Ship with an undergraduate degree in Geoenvironmental Science, and I liked it so much that I am back to earn my master’s degree in the same program. My program requires writing a lot of technical reports and research papers, so my specialty is in writing and editing science-based assignments. However, I am interested in many subjects, and I am excited to read assignments across a variety of disciplines. In my personal life, I like reading, hiking, painting, exploring, and anything involving plants, rocks, mushrooms, or wildlife…you can see why I am a Geoenvironmental major. I look forward to getting to know my fellow graduate students and their papers, so sign up for a consultation today! |
