Mount Si High School senior Rachel Mallasch is one of 10 finalists in the Toyota Teen Driver Video Challenge, a national competition that could win her up to $15,000. The challenge called on teens to create short videos to inspire their friends to make safer decisions behind the wheel, and voting is on now.
Mallasch, of North Bend, is passionate about film and photography, and plans to attend Azusa Pacific University in Calif., where she has been accepted into the film productions program.
