Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Rachel recently moved to Des Moines from Chicago. She is currently in her last semester of college at Aurora University pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social work. 

Rachel has always enjoyed her time spent doing volunteer work. Her favorite experience was in Chicago where she volunteered with a company called the Bread Truck. They delivered food, clothing, toiletries and more to the individuals living in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. This opportunity began her passion for helping underserved communities.
