Hello there! 

 

Thank you for taking the time to stop and take a look at my portfolio. My name is Maggy McGloin, and I am a Professional Writing and Rhetoric Major with a Minor in Communications at Elon University. 

 

Writing has been a significant part of my life ever since I can remember. By growing up as an avid reader and with a general curiosity of the world, I have molded into the student and future professional I am today. Although I've been a Professional Writing and Rhetoric Major for less that a year, I've been able to grasp certain concepts that have forever changed the way I write, speak, and furthermore portray others' works. You will see that what I have learned shines through in each and every one of my portfolio pieces. 

 

I would like to use this website to showcase my progression and identity as a writer through three different positions: as a professional, as an academic, and as an experimenter. In "The Professional" section, you will find the written and visual works I've completed during my internships. These are pieces that have helped inspire what I would like to do next in my career, and depict different situations where I've had to use rhetorical strategy. In "The Academic" section, you will find the works I've completed in a student setting meant for academic purposes and, more specifically, in my Professional Writing and Rhetoric classes. These pieces vary from in-class memos to research projects and rhetorical analysis. In "The Experimenter" section, you will find the pieces I have written in a new field that have particularly challenged me. Though these have mainly been completed in the classroom as well, I believe they deserve a special place; they are not your classic classroom assignment. 

​

I hope that by reviewing and evaluating my pieces, you will gain a better understanding of my writing style within these three different positions, and furthermore understand my ability to write for multiple audiences and in different styles. I hope that you find my pieces intriguing and enjoy reading the rhetorical thought-process behind them through my contextual narratives. 

 

Thank you again for visiting, I look forward to hearing your remarks. Enjoy!

 

 

Best regards,
