Rachel is originally from outside Columbus, Ohio, and is happy to discuss the superiority of Midwest ice cream. While once a competitive swimmer, she now prefers to “dabble” in various hobbies at any given time. Currently, these seem to include reading, watching ample television, playing Settlers of Catan, doing renovation projects, and playing with her dog Jazzy and cat Charlie.
