Essay Writing

I previously worked at Wilfrid Laurier University’s writing center. While there I helped countless students learn how to manage their time more effectively, improve their study habits, and upgrade their essays.

If you work with me, I will teach you how to write useful thesis statements; relevant paragraphs; correct citation formats; and how to properly use quotes, summaries, and paraphrases.

Hi and Welcome to My Page! My name is Christina Van Starkenburg, and I like to spend my time writing. And as you might notice pretty quickly, I like to write about many different things, from homes and moving (which as a military spouse, I can assure I have a lot of first-hand experience on), to health and wellness to parenting and ways to grow in your faith.

My husband and I have two sons, aged 4 and 1.5 and we live with our cat on Vancouver Island. I hope that you find encouragement and help while you are on my site, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
