You could say her passion for arts runs in the family: her aunt Livia played Rizzo in the original production of Grease on Broadway, and her grandmother Millie performed in Tony & Tina’s Wedding long into her 70s. Rachel finally followed in their footsteps by graduating from the William Esper Studio Meisner Conservatory in 2017.

Originally from California, Rachel attended the University of San Francisco, where she began her career in advertising at the reputable Venables Bell agency. Three years, two boyfriends, and one cross-country move later resulted in a clear decision: goodbye advertising, hello acting. She’s been working in the industry ever since.

Recent credits include:

• FILM: Sophia in The Line (dir. Sarah Kaidanow) /

• THEATER: Taylor Barrett in Chasing Jack (Jerry Orbach Theater) / Jo in Start With I Do (Chain Theater Festival, “Best Play” award) / Lavinia in Titus Andronicus (Columbia MFA Program)

Rachel is also an avid student of the craft, under the tutelage of: JJ Perez, Jessica Cummings, Bob Krakower, Rob McCaskill
