Rachel Vande Kieft, Staff Writer
I’m Rachel Vande Kieft. I’ve lived in Rochester almost all my life, but I was born in Austin, Minnesota. I love traveling, running, and politics. I work at Applebee’s North as a host. I’m motivated by the idea and feeling of success.
Next year, I plan to attend Wichita State University as a political science major to pursue the career of a non-profit social justice lawyer or will take 2-3 years off to move to Guatemala to serve communities there.
I believe journalism is important because people need ways to inform themselves of the things that are going on in this world!
I hope to learn more about taking photos, how to write better stories, and also more about the students and staff at Mayo High School.
