Rachel is a graduate of California State University, Chico with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in Dance and a graduate of Oakland School for the Arts.
Theatre has always held a special place in Rachel's heart. She was raised on the golden age movie musical classics and her love of the arts was deeply encouraged by her artist parents. Her mother was an usher at Berkeley Rep and Zellerbach Hall during Rachel's childhood and starting from an early age would often bring Rachel to usher with her.  
Though Rachel loved theatre, much of her life was dedicated to a different passion of hers. From ages seven to eighteen, she was deeply steeped in the classical music world and the study of her violin. It wasn't until covid quarantine that she realized her need to jump into the world of theatre.
