My name is Rachel Williford and I am a sophomore at Appalachian State University. I am 19 years old, and I am studying Elementary Education with a minor in Visual Arts. I am from Holly Springs, NC but I now call Boone, NC home while I am a student at App State. I come from a family of five, making me the youngest of three children. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, drawing, listening to music, and being outdoors. I also love being around kids and wish to become a teacher in the future.
