Rachel Duelo
I am a small town east sider from White Lake, Michigan. I am currently a second-year student at WMU studying Public Relations, with a double-minor in Non-Profit Leadership and Advertising and Promotions. On my journey to graduation in 2012 (fingers crossed) I am currently involved in several things. I am currently a LEAD Corp intern for 2011-2012, an avid member of Campus Crusade for Christ, a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters, and am an employee Bath and Body Works. In hopes of continuing to build my leadership experience that began my first-year as the president of a leadership organization on campus, it is my hopes that through LEAD Corp I will gain applicable leadership traits and experiences to take into my career field.
