Stunt & Fight Professional
Most comfortable doing highly physical work as an actor and director, Rachel is training for stunt and fight performance work, as well as developing her directing and choreography skills. She is an actor with Rocky Mountain Stunts, training under Mark Grove and has already had several opportunities on set and stage, including working with Guy Pearce in The Seventh Day. Her work in Intimacy Coordination/Direction and stage Direction leads her to constantly use what she knows to create fun and safe simulated violence. She aspires to keep growing this area of performance and see where it takes her.
