Quote from Coach: "As one of our captains, Rachel embodies what a servant leader looks like both on and off the court. Rachel balances speaking truth and showing love with her teammates. No one works harder in practice than Rachel. As an upperclassman, Rachel connects with all her teammates regardless of year or talent level. Because of these and other leadership qualities, it has been a joy to coach this fine student-athlete."

Future plans? "In my future, I would like to use my teaching degree wherever God will lead me to teach and I would love to be able to coach someday. I want to make a difference in lives for Christ and impact others in the way my teachers and coaches have in my life."

Favorite hobby outside of sports? "A hobby that I enjoy outside of sports is playing my guitar. I get the opportunity to play at Community Baptist Church for worship time and special music. I also enjoy playing it in my free time and hope to write a song of my own someday."
