Meet...Raquel
Name:
Raquel Anderson.Department: Institute of Psychiatry, Community and Professional Education, Community Relations Coordinator, in the “little yellow house” at 51 Bee St.
How
long at MUSC: 7 weeks.Person you would like to meet: Jesus. He changed the entire world, past and present.
Coffee or tea: Tea, raspberry or green. I gave up coffee. It was a traumatic experience.
Community service: Mental health and physical health advocate for many years. I travel across the state conducting conferences and workshops that promote both.
Least favorite chore: A toss between scrubbing baseboards and cleaning ceiling fans. You can hardly get the dirt off base boards but dust goes everywhere when you wipe a ceiling fan blade.
Fondest childhood memory: My mother and I dressed up like rock stars. Spiked hair included. We went to the mall and people asked for our autographs. I don’t know who they thought we were.
What led you to choose your career: The opportunity to produce positive outcomes in our community regarding mental health and a passion for marketing.
Favorite local restaurant: The Charleston Bistro. Tell them I sent you and get $1 off your entrée—seriously!
Most rewarding thing about your job: Knowing that my team’s marketing efforts along with IOP’s services improves the quality of life for many.
