Proudly hailing from Seattle, Washington (and making sure everybody knows it), Rachel loves Barnard and New York more than she ever thought possible. With academic interests ranging from math to sociology, Rachel wants to major in way too many things, but probably will end up in some variation of economics. When she finds time, Rachel loves to go on long walks, cook (mostly vegan) food, visit public libraries, hunt down cheap Brazilian eateries, explore the numerous cities of her new coast (and marvel at how closely together they are located!), read way too many blogs, and hunt down events with giveaways. She spent high school volunteering with small creatures (human and otherwise) at her local zoo and continues to be passionate about conservation efforts as well as education and working with young kids. Proud achievements include getting her mug onto public television and/or into the newspaper in four countries without ever doing anything particularly notable, performing onstage with both Heart and Alice in Chains – while singing choral music, no less – and once finding her way home from a strange Norwegian neighborhood using only English and very limited knowledge of the bus system.
