Rachel Salzer, Business Manager

Hi! My name is Rachel. I am a senior and this is my first year on Echo. I love to adventure, be outside, dance, play golf, and hang out with my friends. I have enjoyed becoming more involved in things here at school like joining DECA, Natural Helpers, golf and ECHO. And I really enjoy watching our high school sporting events so you can find me at those most of the time (especially hockey haha). Also follow SLPSUPERFANS19 on Twitter and Snapchat!!!
