Devon Niccoli

Hi!  My name is Devon and I’ve been at the Writing Center since Fall 2010. I’m a senior BA/MA English student also majoring in French and with a concentration in Creative Writing. I would love to add Italian to that list, but alas, there is just no time! I have thoughts of becoming an editor at a publishing company someday or possibly teaching English in France. Whether I will pursue either path, who knows!  I have been a competitive swimmer since I was six years old and one of my favorite feelings is water flowing past my body and my hair billowing out at my sides after first jumping in.  I am also a swim instructor and if you catch me after hours of lessons, I might start talking to you like I'm five, or like you're five; either way, it's like we've been transported back to the playground. I am a vegetarian and love my very short red hair. My philosophy toward approaching a session is to pretend like we're building a recipe together, that we'll add and omit ingredients along the way, and hopefully by the end, have created something that you can take away with you and use for future writing.
