About Me

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.

My name is Rachel Heinke, and I am happy to share more about myself with you! I grew up in the small town of Huntley, Illinois, and spent my first two years of college at McHenry County College. As much as I love where I am from, I wanted to spread my wings and travel outside of my comfort zone. This mindset led me to the University of Tampa, which turned out to be the decision of my life. I came to Tampa not knowing anyone or what to expect from my new environment. However, my experience here has not only broadened my horizons, but has also taught me irreplaceable life lessons. I have learned to embrace challenges as an opportunity for growth. Ultimately, my journey has shaped me into a more confident person, ready to tackle whatever lies ahead.
