Rachel
Executive Assistant Rockstar
I am originally from Asheville, North Carolina. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus in Mental Health from Liberty University. I also attended Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina to study Culinary and Hospitality. I have always had a passion for travel which has taken me on many amazing adventures. During my study of culinary, I went to France for a month to study under some incredible chefs. I loved being abroad so much, that I also spent a little bit of time living in London England. From there, I got to travel to other countries and experience a lot of other cultures. I came back to the United States and met my husband, after getting married we took a two-month honeymoon backpacking around Europe. After returning from our trip we bought a home on the coast of South Carolina where we enjoy things like fishing, camping, boating, and kayaking. In my spare time, I enjoy going on weekend trips to various cities and towns, trying out new coffee shops and restaurants, checking out art museums, and learning new art techniques. I do a lot of stained glass, photography, clay, painting, resin work, culinary, and graphic design. My husband and I also like to renovate vintage things like campers, homes, antiques, furniture, and cars. I am also a certified travel advisor and destination wedding planner. Some of my favorite movies are Pride and Prejudice, Failure to Launch, Home Alone, Pearl Harbor, The Meg, and Hocus Pocus. Some of my favorite shows are A Million Little Things, This Is Us, House Hunters, Law & Order SVU, The Rookie, 9-1-1, and Criminal Minds. I absolutely love Christmas time and go "all-out" when December rolls around I am also a big fan of fall.
