A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Rachael! I grew up in Charleston, SC and attended Harvard College, where I earned an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and Music. I’m a fourth-year medical student at Albany Medical College, where I completed my PhD in Neuroscience. I love playing my violin, cross-stitching, and hiking in the Adirondacks with my husband and our two Great Pyrenees mixed-breed rescue dogs. I’m passionate about understanding what matters most to others, identifying any barriers to overcome, and helping them achieve their goals – especially in the academic setting!
