Her passion for civil rights began in high school and carried her to the Deep South, where she advocated for equal rights and participated in community development. From Mississippi, Rachel launched her graduate work in Washington, DC at Howard University. Here, the curriculum & experiences expanded her scope from civil rights to human rights, and she brought this connectivity to her work in Idaho in 2004.
