She has also enjoyed dancing and being culturally immersed in Mexico, Guatemala, Denmark, Hungary, and most recently Chile. Through her domestic and international work, Rachel is an enthusiastic supporter of culturally responsive and inclusive arts for all ages, presenting diversity with accuracy and authenticity.
