Rachel is very interested in international studies and has high hopes of joining the Peace Corp after graduating from college. Going through her own account with childhood obesity has made her want to tell her story to young girls. She believes that being healthy is more than just how you look. It’s truly living out the three pillars of Healthy Girls Save The World, having a healthy body, a healthy mind, and participating in healthy relationships. Her interests include writing; meeting new people, and staying active through sports and physical activity EVERYDAY!
