Podcast episode 91: Amy Cicchino, McKenna Slaughter, and Nghi Chau on students supporting students in the portfolio process
08 April 2026, 7:20
Hi everyone,
Associate Prof Dr Amy Cicchino, the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Central Florida, is back for another interview on our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' This time it's all about student support and the student perspective. Two of her students, McKenna Slaughter, BA, and Nghi Chau, join her to talk about their experiences creating portfolios themselves in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric and as Graduate Assistant and Undergraduate Peer Tutor respectively in the UCF Writing Center.
It's always great catching up with Amy whom I've known since 2019, the last pre-pandemic AAEEBL Annual Meeting and the start of the AAEEBL Digital Ethics in ePortfolios Task Force. Since then she's been a fixture in my professional learning network and a collaborator on presentations, workshops, and papers.
Happy listening
Kristina
