Terita is also trained in rhetoric and discourse analysis which offers another level of teaching to the writing process. These additional disciplines help you to think beyond traditional ways of composing essays or other academic papers, and help you focus on how language is used to influence you and, in turn, how you can use language in certain ways to enhance what you are attempting to communicate through your writing.
