Originally from southwest Texas, Rachel grew up in Las Vegas, where her first career was working as an EMT-I for a private ambulance company. She and her husband moved to Raleigh in 2008 to pursue educational and professional goals. She spent 15 years working as a Massage Therapist and ended that career as an instructor in the Massage Therapy Program at Wake Tech and as a clinical supervisor at Gwinnett College. When it was time to retire from massage, she wanted to continue helping others and serving her community. Rachel has been a licensed Realtor® since 2022 and also works with buyers and sellers at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle. In her downtime, Rachel loves crocheting, reading and spending time with her family by taking day trips to the beach and exploring local parks and nature trails.
