My name is Rachel and I am a Junior at UW-Whitewater. I am from Appleton, WI, and in my free time I love passionately belting out (although not well) showtunes, laughing at memes, and hanging out with friends. My favorite TV shows are Jane the Virgin and The Golden Girls, and my favorite movie is Moulin Rouge. It is my belief that Ice Cream is the best food to have ever been invented; specifically Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I have a small obsession with eyeglasses, however that wasn&#8217;t always so. When I first got glasses in 1st grade, I cried about it until I saw that Carl from Jimmy Neutron had glasses, then I loved them and it hasn&#8217;t stopped. I&#8217;m a pretty upbeat person, so I love talking to people and making new friends!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/wsuw\/files\/2014\/04\/FB_IMG_1498602516936.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1312 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/wsuw\/files\/2014\/04\/FB_IMG_1498602516936-290x300.jpg\" alt=\"FB_IMG_1498602516936\" width=\"142\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/wsuw\/files\/2014\/04\/FB_IMG_1498602516936-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/wsuw\/files\/2014\/04\/FB_IMG_1498602516936.jpg 479w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 142px) 100vw, 142px\" \/><\/a>Tom Fuerst <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Position:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:music@wsuw.org\">Music Director<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Tom!
