Active in the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) chapters across Ohio, Kentucky, and California, Rachel continues to expand her horizons in music education. While she comes from a classical background, Rachel is also passionate about exploring jazz and improvisation.

Her love for hands-on activities reflects her appreciation for the art of craftsmanship and expression in all its forms.
