Rachael Larsen
Name: Rachael Larsen
Hometown: Kinnelon, N.J.
Year in School: Senior
Major: Marketing
In high school, Rachael Larsen did not involve herself with extracurricular activities. In fact, she will admit that it wasn’t due to lack of time or shyness; she just had no desire to. However, when she arrived at Coastal, she decided to branch out a bit.
By “a bit” we really mean a lot. Rachael joined various groups from honor societies to the cheerleading club to Colleges Against Cancer. She is currently a building manager at the Lib Jackson Student Union and also served a stint as a campus tour guide. A few years removed from high school, Rachael states that becoming involved at Coastal has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on her.
Despite the positive impact, don’t think becoming involved has defined her. Long before stepping foot on campus, Rachael was already an eclectic individual with various interests. Intrigued by the arts, Pinterest crafts and the outdoors, she is an innovative person with various hobbies.
However, Rachael has one major passion that most people wouldn’t guess right off the bat. This particular passion has landed her an internship in New York City and shaped her outlook for the future. In a year or so, Rachael envisions herself working in the fragrance industry.
Enthralled by the ability of a fragrance to “take you back to your childhood,” Rachael enjoys the fact that the industry plays a big role in “taking you back to a certain memory.” With that said, there is one scent Rachael already knows based on her time at Coastal and in New York City: Success.
And believe us, that sweet fragrance will only become stronger as Rachael continues to chase her dream.
