Originally from Indiana and retaining that pleasant Midwest attitude, Rachelle has spent many years working as a web developer, educator, and idea implementer.  She has a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Information Technology from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY.

Rachelle has been helping people become more informed and more empowered through technology for over 10 years. She is also a certified Education & Training Officer of the Department of Defense. Through her degree programs, Rachelle also studied the Psychology of Learning, Interactive Multimedia Development, Cross-Platform Training Development, Human Communication, and Graphic Design. She also judges local and state Science Fairs through government outreach programs--sharing both her love of education and the sciences with area children to promote their future as young scientists.

Rachelle has been teaching Beginner through Intermediate social dance lessons for over 6 years in the Washington DC Metro area. She began dancing 13 years ago in country line dancing and two step, but quickly learned many styles of swing, latin, and ballroom. She teaches private and group lessons at local studios, clubs, events, and private homes. She is certified through the Dance Vision International Dance Association (DVIDA).

In 2004, Rachelle became a certified Group Fitness Instructor through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Being certified in fitness and CPR/First Aid, she now expands her offerings to help others live happier and healthier, gain confidence in themselves, and become stronger in mind, body, and spirit through Dance Aerobics, BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, Yogalates, and BODYFLOW.

Relying on her years of training as an educator of the sciences and computer sciences, Rachelle can tailor a lesson schedule with active learning techniques that can match your learning style. While many instructors are knowledgeable of their material, they lack the training as an educator to understand how to make their instruction the most effective and cost efficient for their students. Integral to Rachelle's mission as a dance instructor and a technology consultant is to show YOU how YOU can achieve your goals in an affordable way.
