More about Rae:

In addition to TKD, I play club field hockey and work in a cognitive psychology lab on campus ( I was not kidding about running psychology/ fMRI experiments on people). As a true Jersey girl, one of my favorite places is the beach, and I think fried pickles are delicious.

Thoughts about the ECTC (INCTL) or Taekwondo in general:

Taekwondo has been an important part of my life since I was five years old, and it has taught me a lot about myself, others, and what we are all capable of accomplishing. My favorite part of taekwondo, and something which became even more apparent to me in college after competing in the ECTC, is that you never stop learning. I have met amazing students, masters, coaches, and referees through the ECTC, and it is one of my favorite college experiences.
