More about Rachel: Rachel was born and raised in Kansas City. Growing up, she attended Blue Valley schools and was involved with BBYO and NCSY. She recently returned to the area after just over 10 years living in England with her family, where she worked supporting children and young people who were at risk of hospital admission for mental health reasons. Outside of school, Rachel enjoys reading, painting, and spending time with family and friends. Her oldest child is now a student at HBHA, and she is very excited to be back in the Kansas City Jewish community!
