Rachel, COTA/L, was born and raised in Southern California but has since lived in several states. She earned her degree from AdventHealth University in 2018 and has worked with the pediatric population in clinics, private schools, and medical daycare facilities in Arkansas and Florida before relocating to South Carolina in late 2024. Rachel enjoys working with a variety of diagnoses and age groups, but her true passion in the OT field lies in incorporating animals into therapy. She is Level I Certified in Hippotherapy with three years of experience and is working toward integrating canine-assisted therapy into her treatments. Outside of work, Rachel enjoys traveling to different states and countries, exploring various creative hobbies, and spending quality time with her friends, family, and her sweet and sassy miniature poodle.
