I am a retired senior U.S. government professional and Navy Reserve officer with more than three decades of experience working in national security, international affairs, and leadership environments. My career has taken me into settings ranging from senior-level government meetings and formal diplomatic and military events to multinational engagements in the United States and overseas, including several years living and working in the United Kingdom. While I am new to professional film and television work, I performed in several stage productions in high school and have always had an interest in acting. I am comfortable taking direction, working as part of a team, and remaining composed and natural in formal or high-pressure environments. I would bring authenticity to background roles involving government, military, diplomatic, intelligence, or professional settings—not simply through appearance, but through an understanding of how people in those environments interact, move, and conduct themselves. I am also a genuine fan of The Diplomat and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the production.

I’m a singer-songwriter, performer, mom of two, and I’ve also spent most of my life working as a hairstylist and business owner. I’m very comfortable talking to people and being in front of a crowd or camera. Between performing my music, doing interviews, and owning my own business, I’ve had a lot of experience connecting with all different kinds of people. Acting is something I’m newer to, but I think a lot of my life and performance experience carries over. I’m outgoing, expressive, easy to work with, and I take direction well. I’d love opportunities in commercials, TV, film, lifestyle, hosting, and faith-based projects. I think what I bring most is just being genuine and relatable and not being afraid to put myself out there.
Richmond-based film enthusiast with a deep passion for the financial and cultural impact of storytelling on screen. I’ve worked as an extra on major productions filmed in Virginia, including The Good Lord Bird, Lincoln, and Harriet, giving me firsthand experience with set life and production dynamics. Beyond performing, I bring an analytical eye to the industry — I run a platform focused on film financial analytics, so I understand the business side of the business as much as the craft. Reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in every project I’m part of, on camera or off.
Hi there! I'm Rachel. I'm 5'5", 160lbs, and currently based in Richmond, VA. I've been acting for 20 years now, getting my start in college theater and working my way into professional theater, commercial, film, and television work.

Outside of acting, I love plants, nature, adventure, traveling, thrill seeking, my family, and my 3 dogs. My two acting dreams are to have my own travel show like Anthony Bourdain where I am able to explore and give back to the cultures/communities that are featured and, secondly, to play a serial killer in a movie or TV series.
