Biography

In her free time, Raquel loves to write, choreograph, strum some guitar chords, and plot to steal the neighborhood cat Paprika.
What is one of your favorite moments from your time with the Department of Dance?
My favorite recent memory is dancing with several dance students in a short, fun dance film outside of Meany Hall produced by the Dance Student Association. The best moment was an hour and a half into filming, we were all getting delirious and started communicating with the nearby sea gulls.
What plans or goals do you have for post-graduation?
I plan to keep dancing, singing, and writing, publish some poetry, and keep working as an intern for a local publisher and helping it launch.
