Rachel is a Nashville native and has been involved in theatre in some capacity for most of her life. Over the past eight years, she has worked alongside Marilyn Fair in Fairview, Tennessee, serving as an assistant director and stage manager for theatre summer intensives—a role that deepened her love for the stage. While earning her BA in Mass Media Communication at Florida College located in Tampa, Florida, she directed multiple one-act plays and short films. After graduating, she worked as a choreographer and assistant teacher for Drama Kids, continuing to nurture her passion for the performing arts and arts education. Rachel returned to Franklin in May 2025 to further pursue her passion for the arts and storytelling in all its forms. She is thrilled to be part of the CYT Nashville team and grateful for the opportunity to share her love of theatre with the next generation of performers.
