Rahelle is an alum of the University of Vermont, receiving both her B.A. and M.Ed.

Having shared similar experiences as many of the students she now serves, Rahelle hopes to be a strong advocate for first-generation and limited-income students, while empowering and helping them create tools for a positive trajectory in high school and beyond.
