A Colorado native, Rachel completed her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where she also played college basketball. After working for two years in child welfare in Florida, she enrolled at the University of Houston, where she’s currently pursuing a master’s degree in social work. In her free time, Rachel enjoys running, hiking, and spending time outdoors in any way she can.
Rachel adds “In my work with child welfare, I helped individuals and families access resources and opportunities they needed. That experience inspired me to pursue a master’s in social work. In my new role with Emerson’s ESL Program, I look forward to helping students gain the language skills they need to thrive in our community. I am thrilled to be able to contribute to this special program. Thank you all for welcoming me into this amazing church community that deeply values justice, equity, and inclusion.”
