Rachel has accomplished a great deal since her injury.  She has graduated from high school and has completed a two year program at the career center earning a certification in early childhood education and has recently completed an internship program called Project Search at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.  She has spoken publicly many times inspiring hundreds with her story. She still has plans on attending college one day in the near future.

Rachel continues OT/PT on a daily basis.  Her routine includes leg workouts, stationary bike, treadmill, weights, arm bike and many grasp and release exercises.  She also keeps her brain fit by playing the Wii's Big Brain Academy and has now completed for the second time The Posit Science Brain Fitness Program.
