Originally from Boston, Rachael resides in Los Angeles with a versatile and successful career in the Entertainment Industry.

Rachael was introduced to the arts at a young age, taking up dance to correct an innate handicap she had with her legs. Quickly falling in love with it, she attended a Performing Arts High School immersing herself in dance, theatre and music. As a teenager, Rachael trained at some of the most prestigious schools in New York City, solidifying her dream to pursue a career in Entertainment. She then went on to attend Oklahoma City University as a Theatre & Dance Performance Major.

Since moving to Los Angeles, Rachael has been in over 30 Films, TV Shows & Commercials, ranging from Co-Stars, to Guest Stars, Recurring, Principal and Supporting roles. Some of her credits include Legion, Glee, True Blood, Rush Hour 3, Gilmore Girls Revival, Mascots, How I Met Your Mother, CSI, Dr. Ken, No Strings Attached, Microsoft, Target, Chevy, Farmer's Insurance, H&M and many more. These wonderful opportunities have allowed her to work with well-respected Directors like Ryan Murphy, Steven Soderberg, Christopher Guest, Tim Mielants, Amy Sherman-Palladino, David LaChapelle and Mathew Cullen to name a few.

Her love for the theatre lead her to play the lead role in Craig Wright’s Pulitzer Prize nominated play, The Pavillion, at the Malibu Playhouse.

As a performer, Rachael has toured & danced for Rihanna, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Pink, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Cher and more. She's performed in two Super Bowl Halftime Shows and has been a Guest Performer on numerous shows like Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The Grammy's, MTV VMAs, American Music Awards, The Billboard Awards as well as countless Music Videos, Industrials and Live Shows. She's honored to have worked with some of the most well-respected Artists, Choreographers & Artistic Directors in the Industry.

Knowing the importance of being a hybrid entertainer, Rachael thrives both in front of the camera and for live audiences. Constantly working on her craft, she's been fortunate to train with Stella Adler's protege, Arthur Mendoza in his Master Classes at The Actor's Circle Theatre, as well as with Alice Carter, Ivana Chubbuck, John Hindman, Michael Laskin, John Lacy and Brian Reise.

Her versatility and knowledge in the business has opened many doors in her career. Passionate about creating content, Rachael recently completed The Hunt, a pilot she co-wrote, produced and stars in, that is currently making the festival rounds.
