Rachel Frederickson

Bio:
Rachel Frederickson (born Rachel Frederickson in St. Paul, Minnesota) is the 24-year-old winner of the fifteenth season of the U.S. edition of The Biggest Loser. She was born and raised in Minnesota with her older and younger brothers, and was an athlete on her high school swim team, eventually becoming a three-time state champion swimmer. She was offered full-time swim scholarships from many colleges, but she turned them all down in favor of moving to Germany to be with an exchange student she’d fallen in love with. They broke up, and Rachel gained over 100 lbs within the next six years. After Germany, she moved to Chicago for pastry school, to Colorado to manage a gelato shop, and back to Minnesota when her parents got divorced. Then she went to Vegas to work as a pastry chef, and finally moved to Los Angeles, where she currently works as a voice-over artist.
