Rachel Klein recently graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina, where she majored in business and political science. In her free time, Rachel loves to garden. Though she’s young, Rachel is a master at growing a vast assortment of organic herbs and veggies—all of which she stores herself using various drying, canning and jamming techniques. She abstains from using any pesticides in her home garden, and she does her own composting.
Rachel hopes to pursue a career within either the nursery or the organic agriculture industries.
