My name is Rachel Holder, and I am the new Marketing and Communications Intern for the summer of 2023.

I am from Greenwood, South Carolina. I attend Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina and major in Graphic Design with a minor in Media Studies. I am involved in many different activities including Greek life, the App State ski team, and Student Made, which is a community of student artists selling their products. When not studying or doing various art projects, you can find me out on a nature walk, or hanging out with friends.

I am excited and eager to learn everything there is to the Greenville Chamber; including connecting with people and growing in a professional aspect. I am also excited to be able to communicate, generate, and execute design ideas for publications and other platforms.

After this summer, I head back to App State as a junior. I am looking forward to growing and developing my design skills. My anticipated graduation date is May of 2025. While I have a little bit more time left, I would love to pursue a career in packaging design, and branding. I am excited to see what the graphic design field has in store for me, as well as my time here at the Greenville Chamber.
