About me
Hi! I'm Rache and I'm a fourth year psychology student from Czechia. I'm part of the genderqueer community and I work to ensure that all genders feel safe and supported in St Andrews. On the side, I'm best known for my extremely long-winded concussion and vast number of Spotify blends. Feel free to drop me a line about anything, either on my personal or officer email!
