Rachel has nurtured a love for children since she was a young girl herself. At the age of 10, she even hosted her own neighborhood summer school! It was around this same time that Rachel found her faith in Jesus, igniting a passion to share that love and joy with others, particularly the next generation.
Here at Northview, Rachel thrives on creating a vibrant space where kids can have a blast, learn about God, and build a strong foundation of faith. Her mission is to make every Sunday an exciting adventure where children can discover the depth of Jesus' love for them.
While not hanging out with the amazing young crew at church, you might find Rachel utilizing her tech background, with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and an MBA in IT Management, at her day job. Her entrepreneurial spirit also shines through her crypto education business. Outside of work, Rachel cherishes spending quality time with family, enjoying the thrill of paddle boarding, and exploring new destinations.
