Samantha Baugus

Hello! I am a teacher, editor, scholar, book-lover, and crazy cat lady. Nice to meet you.

Samantha (she/her) has been a passionate lover of books and stories for her entire life. So, she pursued English degrees until she received a Ph.D. in English. She specifically studies science fiction and fantasy and is actively involved in that community as an editor, scholar, and fan. During her journey through academia, she discovered her love of teaching, and the rest is history.

Today, she brings her love of teaching outside the traditional classroom to help other professionals develop their skills. She dives into literature on her YouTube channel, The Reading Rambler. On the side, she joins her love of teaching and reading by offering editing services.

In addition to the above, Samantha is an active scholar, with multiple conference presentations and forthcoming publications focused on animals in science fiction and fantasy literature. She would be especially thrilled to work with anyone writing about animals!

She also enjoys spending time with her cats (Fitz, Swoosh, and Clarinet) and her husband, Jonathan. She also enjoys D&D, cross-stitching, crocheting, and jigsaw puzzles.

Testimonials

 
“I want to praise Samantha’s use of technology across a variety of platforms to help her students remain connected throughout the semester. I appreciate this perspective and approach, especially during the pandemic and switch to online learning. It has served well in creating an approachable demeanor yet at the same time students have respected the communication channel
because they value it so much. This to me is the secret to good teaching, regardless of content, being
able to clearly and directly engage with students in a humanizing manner makes all the difference in a
student’s educational experience.
All around I believe that Samantha Baugus is already an excellent teacher and is an asset to our
department.”

“Samantha is knowledgeable and experienced with writing and story planning, which helped organize my ideas so that I could see it clearly. I would like to hire again when I need help understanding my story ideas and making the conceptualization to something I can create. Thank you!”

“Enthusiastic, charismatic, understanding and proficient are words I would use to describe Prof Baugus. Prof Baugus was always an email away and is among the most capable at explaining english to pupils that I have encountered. I took this class expecting a completely different type of writing, and having never written in this fashion, Prof Baugus has enabled me to feel like I am progressing through my own hard work. Her essay feedback is enormous and I can’t comprehend how she does it for the entire class. Obviously she works very hard to create the course content and gives her all to help improve her student’s understanding of the material.”
