Jack’s Words


What do you love/appreciate about Dr. B the most?

Dr. B took a chance when she hired me, she had little proof of my ability to tutor but she believed. She gave me flexible employment when I needed it most and has consistently been flexible and understanding. Apart from that, Dr. B genuinely cares about the people under her employ and will go above and beyond for anyone of them.


What is your favorite memory with Dr. B?

The RC Tiger Pageant was a special, stressful time. As with everything, Dr. B handled it with such grace and made sure that the show went off without a hitch.

Dr. B is actually the best boss that any of us could ask for. She is so kind and has endless compassion for everyone around her. She never shys away from a challenge and takes care of us. She truly is our RWC mom! Love you, Dr. B <3


What is your favorite memory with Dr. B?

My favorite memory of Dr. B was my very first semester at the RWC all the way back in 2019. I was very new to college, and I came to work on my birthday. At the moment I least expected it, she burst into the door holding a cake and singing happy birthday to me. I was so shocked and surprised and honestly it warmed my heart. It was the moment I realized just how special of a place I had found, and just how much of an amazing and genuine person Dr. B is.

What do you love/appreciate about Dr. B the most?

I appreciate Dr. B because she puts up with us day in and day out, lol. Seriously tho, she is a fantastic boss, she is extremely understanding and very kind. She always knows how to make you laugh on a bad day but also somehow simultaneously will give you the most insightful and wise advice ever. She is the rock that holds the RWC together and we could not ask for a better boss :)

What do you love/appreciate about Dr. B the most?

Dr. B is the absolute best! There are many things about Dr. B that I love from her caring and supportive nature but one notable thing I love about Dr. B is her sense of wonder, curiosity, and eagerness to learn more about others and the world around us. Her overall sparkling personality brings so much positivity to the Reading and Writing Center.


What is your favorite memory with Dr. B?

My favorite memories I have with Dr. B are when she shares poetry with us during our staff meetings. She's always intentional with choosing poems that are meaningful and relevant to whatever is going on at the time. And not just with the poems she chooses, she always puts a lot of care into planning our meetings, events, and celebrating our birthdays and accomplishments. I've worked with Dr. B for 5 years and I've shared so many special moments with Dr. B because she makes sure to put in all her heart into everything she does.

Dr. B has been so supportive from the moment I met her. She has created a safe environment for multiple generations of tutors and has a wonderful personality that it makes it so hard to say goodbye and leave the RWC. I love Dr. B because she has allowed a space for me to grow personally and academically. She emits joy and kindness and I love that about her. She has definitely set the bar high for my future boss.


What is your favorite memory with Dr. B?

My favorite memory with Dr. B was when I did a speech at Reedley College and she showed up like a proud mom. Her presence meant the world to me, especially considering she has seen me grow since 2019. Dr. B is truly amazing!


Leslie’s Words


What do you love/appreciate about Dr. B the most?

Dr. B is very patient and understanding. I can tell she really cares about the RWC and has our best interest at heart.


What is your favorite memory with Dr. B?

A memory I think of is my first interaction with her, through as Discord call. It was my first semester at Reedley College, and I was looking for a club to be a part of, and the one that caught my eye was the Safe Space Club. I was extremely nervous about joining, and because of covid, the club meeting had to be through discord. Because of meeting Dr. B, I became more confident in my ability to lead and help others.
