When Rachel was a teenager, she ran away from home and wouldn’t return until her parents agreed to put her in military school. She wanted to be a radar intercept officer in an F14. During her physical in military school, she learned that she had eye problems that prevented her from her dream of flying.

She graduated high school early and went to the University of North Texas. When she went home from school one break, her parents surprised her with a trip to Paris to explore and figure out what her nexts steps would be. During her trip, she realized the power of spaces and her desire to create them. She transferred to Texas A&M for architecture school and was able to do her masters in Europe working with renowned gothic theater scholars.
