She found great fulfillment in the challenges and joys of working with the sport's newest athletes. Rachel progressed to coaching tumbling, trampoline, gymnastics, and cheer, where she fostered a love of self and community in numerous athletes.
Rachel holds a Bachelor's Degree from Western Illinois University. She can often be found in the small gym or engaged with the Y Winners program throughout the building.
Outside of work, Rachel enjoys baking, painting, and spending active time outdoors with her family, including hiking, biking, and camping.
