RACHEL OVERBY

Summary
I was raised to work hard, and not slow down. Im grateful for the work ethic that was instilled in me at a young age. I was taught to push through when times are tough, and find joy in the many things we are capable of doing. I have had a beautiful life that I have worked hard for, and I want to share that with other people in any way that I can. Life is short, and work is a blessing.
