Rachel started acting in local plays at age eleven when she realized she hated baseball and had had enough of it. Her first role was a talking deer. Since then, she has appeared in film, plays, and musicals.

Rachel stumbled into playwriting during her last year of college because she wanted to take a class with Pulitzer Prize winner, Beth Henley. Rachel wrote a play about people living in a refrigerator. Henley said she liked how weird it was, so Rachel went all in and got a Masters.

SOURDOUGH, Rachel’s melancholy comedy about loneliness and yeast infections, was one of six shorts included on The Golden List in 2022.  In the same year, Rachel won Best Pilot at LA Femme International with APOCALYPSE: THE MUSICAL and Best Half-Hour TV Pilot at Film Crash with CHAOS BECOMES US. In 2023, her historical rom-com, LADYLIKE, won Best TV Pilot at LA Under the Stars. Her style draws from high and lowbrow, citing postmodern theatre and Molly Shannon’s SNL run as core influences.
