Rati Gabunia

B.A. (Communication Studies)

Rati Gabunia I am a Teaching Assistant and International Graduate Student in the Communication Studies Department from Tbilisi, Georgia. I have an undergrad degree in Business Administration. After graduation, I decided that I wanted to study abroad, and I chose Communication Studies because there was every subject together that I had a passion for learning. I am interested in Marketing, Organizational Communication, Political Communication, and many other classes which are deeply philosophical and psychological. During my free time, I like to read and work out in the gym. I also like to travel and discover different cultures around the world.

Cindy Afoakwa-Acheampong
I am Cindy Afoakwa-Acheampong from Ghana. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from the University of Cape Coast. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Communication Studies at New Mexico State University. My interests are in Gender and Health Communication. 
I strongly believe effective and strategic communication leads to social change: I come from a society where outmoded cultural practices still persist, where women are treated with disdain and not given equal opportunities as men. An M.A. in Communication Studies will equip me with skills that would curb these societal issues.
I love to read and sing.

Hi there! I am a Ghanaian woman who earned my Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's Program in Communication here at the New Mexico State University. I decided to pursue this program due to my interest in Political Communication, Communication and Culture, Interpersonal Communication, and Persuasion. So far, the experience and exposure is great and I just love all the courses I am taking. I also love working as a Teaching Assistant because it allows me to share my knowledge with others. I like to debate, read fictional books and watch movies.
