Rachel moved to the St. Louis area in 2014 with her husband and their two children, and she has been part of the veterinary community since 2002. Over the years, she has worked in nearly every role within a clinic, from kennel staff to technician. 

She stepped into management in 2022 and joined Florissant Animal Hospital in August 2025. Rachel is passionate about supporting her team, creating a positive clinic culture, and ensuring both clients and patients feel cared for from the moment they walk through the door. 

At home, Rachel’s life is happily full of 5 animals, Finn, Zelda, Edgar, Eugene, and Wally. She loves the human–animal bond and feels privileged to work in a field where she can help strengthen it every day.
