Hello, my name is Tom Sura, and I'm a second-year PhD student in rhetoric and composition. My scholarly interests include writing program administration, professional writing, and archives. Just ask Mark Hannah.
I'm originally from Lansing, Michigan. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I followed that with a very short stint in web development and immediately followed that with a short career in retail sales. Although I was flying up the ranks pretty quickly, I ended up getting a job back at the University of Michigan in their NPR and PBS organizations. While there, I started freelance writing, which lead me to apply to masters programs.
I got my MA in writing from DePaul University a few years after that.
