They say that everyone has a story. So you’re probably wondering mine is.
Well, my name is Rachel. I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I attended The University of Alabama and really enjoyed watching the Crimson Tide play on Saturdays in the fall. However, while Tuscaloosa will always be my hometown, I knew from the beginning that I was a fish that needed a bigger pond. So after I graduated from The University of Alabama in December 2013, I moved to the Steel City–Birmingham, Alabama.
That one crazy time when I thought I wanted to be a TV reporter/anchor…

I came into Birmingham around a time in which the city is becoming even better than before. I also found it to be a great opportunity to build my acting career. Since I was young, I have always been more of a right-brained type, and something has always drawn me to the performing arts. I did some acting in middle school and a little bit in high school. However, in college I became busy with too many activities (some of them I felt weren’t really me to begin with) and sadly I had to shove it aside. It wasn’t until right around my last semester of college that I started to pick back up acting again when I took a couple of improv classes and an intro to acting class. Now I find myself wanting to break into the business at the age of 25. Join me as I explore the real world, follow my dreams, and share my adventures/misadventures along the way!

I always consider myself a Southern belle, but a different kind of Southern belle. I have my Southern traditions, but I am also a lover of Latin American culture (having majored in Spanish). I’m the kind of girl who would rather listen to Romeo Santos than Luke Bryan. Of course, I love my football and will always cheer for the Tide, but now I noticed that I am starting to get more into soccer, too. I’m also a huge music lover, and I mainly love music that will make me dance (especially Latin)! So I’ll also share my thoughts on music, movies, and much more!

Much love,
