About Rachel
I often feel broken and like a complete failure. These are lies though that I am trying to face and replace every day. The reality is, I'm an educator, a dancer, a paralegal, and a writer. I have a husband who loves me (though we drive each other crazy sometimes) and we live in Maryland with two cats, Fatty and Chew Toy.
I love to read, take walks in the forest, and savor a full-bodied cup of coffee. Flowers and animals make me smile. I get passionate about conservation and education. And I am forever grateful to friends and family who support me. I would not be here without you.
