I’m Rachael Shook, the Regional Admissions Counselor for northwest Mississippi, west Tennessee,
and the boot heel of Missouri.
I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Ole Miss in May 2008 and am currently
pursuing a Master of Arts degree in higher education/student personnel.
During my time at Ole Miss, I was active with Ole Miss Orientation, Diamond Girls, Student Spirit Committee, Yearbook, and Greek Life.
I was born in Houston, TX and was raised as a military child (Navy) in Cherry Point, NC, Virginia Beach, VA,
Richmond, VA, Panama City, FL, and Memphis (Cordova), TN.
I joined the Ole Miss recruiting team in 2008.
I went to Ole Miss because of its campus beauty, the Grove, the people, and the town—I loved it all.
I was also struck by how everyone is so nice here.
I went on a visit with a friend as a 10th grader in high school.
It was the first college campus I had ever stepped foot on.
My jaw dropped, and I couldn’t believe that this was what a college campus looked like.
From then on out, I was all about Ole Miss and didn’t look anywhere else.
It was also great that it was close enough to home (Cordova) but far enough away, too.
I even got my dad, a UT dental professor, to fall in love with Ole Miss and become a rebel!
Fun Facts:
Pets: Lily is my 2-year-old Beagle and is practically my child.
At my mom’s house we have 2 other dogs—our 11-year-old Beagle, Hershey, and our 4-year-old Chihuahua, Layla.
Secret indulgence/guilty pleasure(s): Disney movies and the Disney channel
Favorite Food(s): Steak and potato with anything chocolate for dessert
If I had to eat dinner with one person who would it be and why? Dead—Walt Disney, because he’s my hero;
alive—Carrie Underwood, because she seems like such a down to earth type of person, and I love her music!
If I were trapped on an island with one person who would it be and why? My mom, because we’d get along so well.
She’d make me feel better about being on a deserted island, because she always makes the best out of bad situations and
would come up with fun things to do to pass time.
Favorite place you have traveled to: Disneyworld
Favorite Book(s): The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
