Rachel Feller
Rachel’s healthcare interests center around behavioral and mental health, which she recently combined with her lifelong passion for food, serving as the 4th employee in a Chief of Staff role at an early (seed) stage “Future of Food” startup. In this role, she worked to launch and scale food products better for humans, animals, and the planet and discovered her passion at the intersection of food sustainability, nutrition, and behavioral healthcare (“food as medicine”). In the future, Rachel hopes to invest in early-stage companies addressing social determinants of health and behavioral health through food and nutrition. Aside from the Digital Health club and Pulse Podcast, Rachel is involved with Wharton Venture Partners, through which she is developing an investment thesis on Food as Medicine, as well as PE/VC club, Wharton Food & Agribusiness Club, and Food Club.
Rachel is in the Healthcare Management program at Wharton. Prior to Wharton, she spent 3.5 years in Deloitte’s Customer & Marketing and Growth Strategy practices advising Life Sciences & Healthcare clients while shaping the firm’s perspective around the Future of Behavioral Well-being and Mental Health. She earned her B.S./B.A. from Tufts University with a double major in Psychology and Economics. When not in class or podcasting, you can find Rachel exploring one of Philly’s many restaurants, practicing Pilates, and classical singing.
Margaret Rollins
Margaret is passionate about how technology-enabled care delivery, especially for vulnerable and underserved populations. Margaret joins us from Eleanor Health, a comprehensive value-based organization reimagining how we treat mental health and substance use disorders. As the 9th employee, Margaret wore many hats across operations, strategy, and growth. Her responsibilities ranged from leading the Growth Ops team, launching Eleanor in seven markets, implementing novel population health contracts, serving as the Interim Director of Operations for Ohio, and supporting special projects with the Senior Leadership Team.

Margaret is in the Healthcare Management program at Wharton. She can often be found geeking out with her classmates about payment model innovation, social determinants of health, and behavioral health policy reform. Outside of the classroom, Margaret spends her time cooking, taking her dog, Pig, on long walks in Rittenhouse, and planning her next hiking trip. She earned her BA in History from Dartmouth College in 2015.
