Jeff Landeck

Director

I started tutoring writing as a student at Santa Barbara City College. After earning a BA in English from UCSB and an MA in English from McGill University, I went on to teach literature and writing in the classroom, but I always kept my experiences as an individual tutor at the heart of my teaching. And as Director, I still do.

Emma Cristofani

Assistant Director

Emma Cristofani graduated from UCSB in 2012 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in English with an emphasis on modern culture in literature. While an undergrad, she found her true professional passion as a writing tutor for CLAS. After graduating, she continued to work for CLAS as an academic skills specialist before eventually returning to her roots as the Writing & Languages Coordinator. Now, as Assistant Director, her priorities are to create safe, meaningful, and collaborative spaces and opportunities for students and staff alike while helping CLAS evolve to continue to meet changing needs. Some of her favorite things include The Lord of the Rings, anything to do with Legend of Zelda, and her toothless Yorkie, Melody.
