Grinnellians you should know (or know about): Rachel Heck Rose ’01

There are a whole host of reasons that Rachel Rose ’01 is both cool and awesome [1]. As an undergraduate, she lived in Pirate House. She married a druid [2]. She developed the first online version of Plans. She gave an SRO [4] talk at an international conference while still an undergraduate. She was on an SRO panel at GHC 2016. She’s made a promotional video for Day of Code or Girls Who Code or Code.org, or some combination thereof [5]. Her name appears in the credits of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and many other movies. She’s married to a vintner [6]. She’s raising awesomely cute kids [7]. And oh, so much more.

So let me tell you a bit more about Rachel.

[1] Or perhaps awesomely cool.

[2] Jack the Druid, to be precise [3].

[3] Or imprecise. My mind tends to distort things.

[4] Standing Room Only, not Sam Rebelsky’s Opinion.

[5] Sorry Rachel. As I said, my mind tends to distort things.

[6] No, she didn’t marry twice. The Druid is now a vintner.

[7] Yes, I’d say that about a man, too.
