Peach Chinratanalab

Class of 2020

“By having Peach in our class, I was able to see a bigger piece of each student's humanity. It was really beautiful.” - Professor Andrea Henrie, Children in Families and Schools

Peach was born in Nashville, and her family is originally from Thailand. She is a rising senior enrolled through Next Steps at Vanderbilt. Her favorite class so far has been Arts Education for Young Children, because “I got the chance to write a paper on Crazy Rich Asians, which was very fun to write.” During her junior year, Peach completed an internship with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, and she will work there again this year. All of her coursework, volunteer opportunities, and internships through Next Steps have helped Peach realize that she wants to work in the administrative field when she graduates.
