Volunteer Spotlight on Rachel

My interest in TE stems from my passion to help underserved

and underrepresented people in the community.

I am currently working towards a Masters degree in Physician Assistant Studies at CMU, which is where I first heard about TE from Paul. It immediately sounded like something I want to be a part of, so I signed up to be a volunteer and am so thankful I did. The group of people who I met through TE, although we may be a small group right now, are some of the most genuinely good and passionate people I have met.

Toilet Equity, to me, is a form of non-medical care that provides an incredibly important service to a population of people who need it. Every human being has the right to a clean and private toilet. Especially since the Covid shutdown, I did not realize the impact of having a private toilet can have on so many people without one.

I am thankful to everyone in TE who put this passion into play and hope to see it continue to grow and touch the lives of our community.
