Jenna E. Massaro
- Part-Time Instructor
While receiving my M.A. in Writing and Literature from Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit, I served as a teaching fellow and grew to love first-year writing instruction. I have been a writing instructor at Pitt for several years now teaching technical writing courses like Seminar in Composition, Critical Writing, and First-year Engineering Composition course sequences. I also have experience tutoring in university writing centers, including our Pitt University Writing Center in O'Hara. In my spare time I enjoy creating blackout poetry and hiking the natural areas in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. I am looking forward to helping you strengthen, and grow, your skills as a writer!
