Rachel has been involved with animals since the day she was born. Her mother bred dogs when she was young and it sparked her love for animals of all kinds. Rachel was in the Plymouth County 4-H animal programs for 12 years and has experience professionally handling dogs in the showmanship, obedience, and agility show rings. Rachel has a traditional education from Norfolk County Agricultural High School in canine science and livestock/farm management and went on to earn a bachelors degree of science in secondary education for biology and environmental sciences from Unity College. Her goal is to educate others about all animals and their health needs through hands-on learning experiences and proper veterinary medicines. Rachel is always looking for ways to use her gained experience to help others and to find new opportunities to learn more.

When Rachel is not working at Capeway Animal Hospital, she enjoys kayaking, taking walks with her rescued Hound named Cricket, and snuggling up at home with her cat, George Washington Tuna Noodle.
