My name is Kera and I am one of the writing tutors in Dominican!  I am a Junior this year and am majoring in English teaching.  In my spare time I love dancing, scrapbooking and reading.  I also am an RA on 2nd floor Dominican so feel to drop by whenever you have a question about anything... writing or otherwise  : )


Marissa Freber
Marissa Freber

My name is Mari Freber, and I'm currently a freshman here.  I have officially chosen English Teaching as my major, because that sort of stuff has always been fun for me (nerd, i know).  To go along with the nerdiness, I love to read and write stories, which I then post on a website that I'm an author on.  I'm also on the Edgewood Track and Field team, where I run sprints and hurdles.

Kedar Joyner
Kedar Joyner

My name is Kedar Joyner, and I’m a senior at Edgewood College studying English and literature.  Teaching English and writing has always been a passion of mine. In the summer of 2006, I taught English in China to middle school students.  Afterwards, I continued to teach at Augsburg College for an after school program that helped students who spoke English as a second language.  My experiences with teaching have been incredible adventures, and very rewarding. I enjoyed those experiences so much that I decided to become certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language last winter. When an Edgewood Professor gave me a copy of “Why I Write” by Orson Wells, I realized further that teaching English and writing was my “calling” so to speak.  I’m always looking for ways to improve not only my own writing, but others as well.

Sir Michael Charles Robert Ebenezer McDonald Brenan XII, PhD, MD, is a freshman at Edgewood College, a Navy SEAL, Texas Ranger, cult leader and proud father of sixteen children.  He was born in a log cabin in the Montana wildness during the bitter winter of nineteen-ought-four to a lumberjack and a wolverine.  He wrote his dissertation on nano-technology in medical microbiology applications under Confucius at the Khufu University in China, then went on to receive his Doctor of Medicine degree from John Hopkins School of Medicine in 1848.  After he finished school, he joined Her Majesty’s Royal Navy, switched sides, and was one of Saladin’s top Lieutenants during the Children’s Crusade, after which he spent 40 years in prison for treason.  During his incarceration he translated the Bible from Latin to Pig Latin, for which he was then knighted.  Deciding to start life anew, he picked up and moved to Chicago, Illinois where he perished saving twenty-two children from a burning orphanage during the Great Chicago Fire.  Franklin D. Roosevelt announced shortly after that every sixth Tuesday of every month henceforth will pay homage to Sir Michael Charles Robert Ebenezer McDonald Brenan XII, PhD, MD’s amazing life full of accomplishments and beautiful women.  Sir Michael Charles Robert Ebenezer McDonald Brenan XII, PhD, MD’s hobbies include underwater basket weaving, pan-handling, singing back-up harmonies for Metallica and raising money for polio research.
