Joi Whitehurst

Dedicated Upward Bound Writing Instructor at Tidewater Community College- Portsmouth Campus, I excelled in enhancing at-risk high school juniors and seniors' writing skills, achieving a significant milestone where most students secured a B or higher. Leveraging active listening and analytical thinking, I fostered a collaborative environment, significantly improving students' language abilities through innovative activities. In addition, digital writing has helped sharpen my analytical skills and has helped me understand the importance of incorporating media and technology in the real world into the classroom.
