Rachel has always enjoyed connecting with other musicians as a percussionist, pianist, and theatre kid. She began ringing handbells in high school and fell in love with the uniquely collaborative instrument. She has since rung with the Houston Bronze Ensemble, Concordia University Nebraska, and various church choirs around the country. As a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest, Rachel is excited to make her BOC debut in the 2025-2026 season.

Outside of bells, Rachel can usually be found hiking the Gorge with her dog or perusing the shelves of Powell’s. She reads anything she can get her hands on as a former book editor and will talk books all day if you let her. Her love of the written word serves her well in her public relations career.
