About Rachel:

She began signing and socializing with the church members and starting to interpret for her Deaf peers in High School.   

She worked full time as an education interpreter for BOCES while she received her BA in Public Communications at the University at Albany.  Upon graduating she began full time freelance work. In 2009 she became RID Certified(NIC). Most of Rachel’s career she has worked in Higher Ed with undergraduate as well as graduate students at the MA and PhD level.
