Rachel Stevenson

24-year-old Rachel is a former pupil of Beaumont School, St Albans, who went on to study politics and Spanish at Bristol University. After graduating in July 2013, she interned for Age International and started volunteering with her local World Development Movement group. Rachel has recently embarked on a trip to El Salvador to help to tackle poverty through development and environmental projects, and is keeping her blog to keep an account of her work and adventures. (See: http://www.stalbansreview.co.uk/news/10925140.St_Albans_woman_begins_trip_to_El_Salvador_to_help_tackle_poverty/) When Rachel gets back from El Salvador in March 2014, she said she hopes to gain some more experience with a development charity or organisation so that she can eventually embark on a career within the development sector.
