My name is Rachel Leimkuehler and I’m a freshman Neuroscience major. I’m from St. Charles, Missouri, which is a suburb of St. Louis. In high school, I was the flute section leader in my school’s marching band and I was in National Honor Society. I enjoyed going to the University of Missouri Columbia’s Mini Med School summer camp during the summer of 2015. This solidified my interest in medicine and helped me set my goal of having a career in the medical field, either as a doctor or a physician’s assistant.
