About
Hello! My name is Rachelle (Ra-shell). I have lived in Missoula, Montana all of my life. I have spent about 9 years total engaged in academic pursuits at the University of Montana.
Throughout my time... at university I have been a teaching assistant for public speaking, statistics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I enjoyed all of my teaching assistant opportunities because helping others understand concepts and to watching them make progress in their understanding makes me feel like I have done a positive, helpful, good thing by helping others reach their goals.
Outside of teaching during my own study of communication fell in love with the study and practice of rhetoric. I find it to be a very useful tool in untangling and understanding how the social constructs that rule our lives were build and evolved to become what they mean to us today.
The thing about me is I care! I care so much sometimes it overwhelming. So, if we click and you choose me to help you with public speaking or writing rhetorical papers, I will put in effort. I will find the way to help you that is compatible with your learning style. And I will put in my time and energy into helping you!read more
