Biography

Jaedyn Baker earned her B.A. in English Literature from California State University Dominguez Hills in 2019, where she worked as an Interdisciplinary Writing Tutor, Supplemental Instructional Leader, and Writing Associate. In each of these roles, Jaedyn supported the academic success of freshman composition students and gained valuable experience working with diverse and underserved student populations. This reinforced her commitment to social justice, equitable education practices, social-emotional learning, and community building. While at CSUDH, Jaedyn also helped establish a new campus Writing Center. Jaedyn continued her work in teaching and composition pedagogy through a Graduate Teaching Fellowship at LMU, which not only provided her with invaluable experience working with LMU’s CORE department and teaching online, but also deepened her understanding of and appreciation for Jesuit education.

While pursuing her M.A in English with an emphasis in Rhetoric and Composition, Jaedyn gained academic advising experience as a Graduate Assistant and, later, as a Senior Administrative Coordinator in the BCLA Advising Center. Jaedyn was a proud contributor to the student-produced Lion Lounge Literary Podcast, and she has been invited to present her work on multimodal and digital writing projects at the Conference on College Composition and Communication. Jaedyn has also presented on the Literature and Film Association annual panel and has been published in the journal of Philosophy & Rhetoric. Her continued research interests include feminist rhetoric(s) and pedagogy, sociolinguistics, and contemporary rhetorical theory. When she’s not teaching, Jaedyn enjoys taking on freelance editing projects.
