Medical Student
University of Louisville
My name is Rachelle Alexander and I am a 4th year medical student at University of Louisville School of Medicine in Louisville, KY. I graduate in May 2023 and I will be going into the field of general surgery with hopes to eventually complete a fellowship. My parents were born and raised in Jamaica and I am a first-generation American originally from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I completed a Bachelor's of Science degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I was also a Division I track and field athlete. Since childhood, I participated in many community service events and I have continued to participate in programs and organizations that serve underserved communities. I also serve as a tutor and mentor to help inspire the next generation. These programs and organizations include Future Healers, the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), and Change Today Change Tomorrow.
