Hello! I’m Benjamin Holmes, a communicator, educator, and administrator specializing in research, composition, and speech.

My vision for the future

I am passionate about supporting educators and students to succeed. I hope to assist students through mentorship organizations in organizational, project management, composition, and public speaking competencies. My long-term goal is to lead a university's student success department and develop new ways to inspire educators and students toward academic and personal excellence.
As I strive toward that goal, I seek to assist those working in student support roles, such as university offices, libraries, and student success departments.

Who am I?

Biography

My parents believed in the importance of education. Through their influence, I began a lifelong love affair with books, academia, and my creative interests. While at college, I discovered a passion for teaching college students communication in speech, composition, and design. Since then, I’ve worked to develop my skills in communication and education and to help others along the way.

Interests

When I’m not studying education, communication, or design, I enjoy spending time with my partner Wyatt, baking, biking, photography, and helping businesses develop effective brands and websites.

What training do you have?

Credentials

I’m a Senior at Florida International University studying a bachelor's degree in Organizational Communication. Before transferring to FIU, I was a Senior at West Coast Baptist College studying English Secondary Education, with minors in Speech, History, Visual Productions, and Graphic Design. Once I graduate with my bachelor's degree, I will pursue further education in communication arts, student success, and curriculum design.

Experience

Though I’m currently a student, I've gained valuable experience in many fields. I’ve designed brands and websites for local non-profits and businesses, tutored college students in effective composition, speech, and visual design, and guest lectured on the writing process.
