✨ Meet Rachel Ellifrits ✨
Student Advisor | Student Services
What do you love about ATA?
The people. 🧡
From our students to our staff and faculty, ATA really feels like a family. I especially love our student events. There’s something a little magical about watching everyone come together outside the classroom. Students from different programs, faculty, and staff laughing, connecting, and simply enjoying time together. Those moments are what make ATA feel so special.
What do you do at ATA?
I’m here to support and advocate for students throughout their ATA journey. I like to think of myself as their “ATA Bestie.” Whether you need encouragement, someone to listen, help finding a solution, or simply a friendly face to talk to, my door is always open.
Sometimes supporting a student means helping them navigate a challenge outside the classroom, too. I can help connect students with community resources for things like housing, food, and other needs that may come up along the way.
So stop by, ask a question, work through a challenge, or just hang out. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here for you. 🧡
We’re proud to have Rachel as part of the ATA family and grateful for the heart, support, and sense of community she brings to our students every day.
