“Rachel is a natural leader and currently supervises and mentors the Engineering Student Ambassadors. She has grown the team from 6 to 12 in the last few years and has made a positive, life-changing impact on all of these students, always encouraging them to put their education and mental health first. She excels at networking and team building with engineering faculty, RSOs, and both on- and off-campus partners. She's led numerous Recruitment events for the College of Engineering and recently collaborated with all of the department chairs and Admissions to host the largest event of the semester: Rebel Preview. Moreover, she has led outreach across numerous K-12 schools across Clark County and has changed the lives of many families in her efforts.“
