Hello!
My name is Rachel Macdonald.
I am from Bismarck, ND, and have lived here for almost my entire life. After graduating high school I attended Bismarck State College, majoring in Criminal Justice. After realizing Criminal Justice wasn't the right life course for me I took some time off from school and moved out to Bozeman, MT. Using my previous job experience at Pride Inc. in Bismarck as a foundation, I took a job in the Bozeman Public School system as a special education paraprofessional. I quickly realized this was the right path for me and fell in love with the idea of becoming a teacher. With encouragement from the teachers I was working with, I moved back home to Bismarck to join the Education Department at the University of Mary. I decided to major in Elementary Education and Special Education. I returned to work at Pride Inc. as a Youth Mental Health Technician and have been there for a combined 9 years. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my puppy. I love to be outside as much as possible and enjoy traveling when I can. |
