Becky Graham is the Writing and Study Skills Counselor in the Macalester Academic Excellence (MAX) Center, where she works with students on their writing assignments and helps them with time management and test anxiety. She completed her Bachelor of Science in English and French in 1978 and then taught secondary school for eight years. Her career as a writing tutor began while completing her Master's of Science in English Education in 1986. At that point, she began teaching composition and English education courses at the university level and has been teaching and tutoring since then. She has been at Macalester for one academic year and is looking forward to working with the Maccess Program for the first time.
