Rachel D'Ercole

Rachel recently obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Osgoode Hall Law School.

Prior to law school, she earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour with distinction from McMaster University.

Whilst in law school, Rachel partook in various community-based initiatives. She volunteered with Osgoode’s Peer Support Centre in 1L and was later elected to the position of Mental Health Committee Member. As an avid animal lover, she thoroughly enjoyed being the 2L representative for the Osgoode Hall Chapter of Animal Justice Canada. Rachel was also a staff writer for Obiter Dicta: Osgoode’s student-run newspaper.

In her final year of law school, Rachel participated in Osgoode’s advanced business law workshop where she developed her knowledge on and gained critical insight into Canada’s public and private debt and equity markets.

Rachel is honoured to have received the Mary L. MacGregor Memorial Award from Osgoode Hall. The Award is granted to a J.D. student who has achieved high academic standing, shows an interest in Estate law, and is active in the Osgoode community.

In her spare time, Rachel enjoys long-distance running, hiking and being in nature. She has seen over 320 species of birds and is hoping to reach her goal of 500 species in the next couple of years.
