Big Dream: Rachel was born in Queens, New York, but spent most of her upbringing in Jamaica- her parents homeland. Growing up in Jamaica, she was confronted with a broken healthcare system which she experienced while having a severe sports injury. Her ultimate goal is to work within the healthcare system, not just as a doctor, but also as an advocate for healthcare reform within developing countries like Jamaica.
