Rachel spent the first half of her childhood in San Diego, California and the second half in Millington, New Jersey. She went to the University of Maryland, College Park, where she received dual degrees in Chemistry and Biological Sciences. She completed her MD and PhD here at Vanderbilt. Although her PhD is technically in Cancer Biology, most of her interesting data was in normal colon epithelium, which piqued her interest in the incredible epithelium of the nephron. Rachel is excited to start the next phase of her journey in the Harrison Society with the ultimate goal of becoming a nephrologist-scientist. She enjoys spending time with her husband, cats, and guinea pig. She enjoys decompressing through craft projects and board games.
PhD - Vanderbilt University, 2022
