Hi, there — I'm Tegan. Welcome to my writing.

Former English student, current patient-care multitasker, future health lawyer, life-long communicator.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.A. in English (concentrating on writing and literature) and a minor in Gender and Women's Studies. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in language, representation, and accessible communication. I have professional experience across a variety of communication-essential roles, including marketing, publishing, and journalism. Wanting to challenge myself, I began working as an ophthalmic technician just before graduation, where I developed the ability to communicate effectively in a fast-paced hands-on medical environment. Now, I am seeking communications roles in the healthcare sphere, where I can apply my skills and hands-on experience advocating for medical professionals and patients while preparing for my future academic goals.
