As an aesthetic nurse, she quickly became one of the best in the nation. She loved her work and cared immensely for her patients. To Rachel, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery was more than just her job, it was like an extended family to her.
Rachel loved traveling and trying new experiences, but most of all she was a homebody. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.
