Rachel has been a paralegal with Catholic Charities Milwaukee since August 2021, and is a Jesuit Volunteer. She has mostly helped clients prepare for cases in DACA and green card renewals, but she has also worked on VAWA and naturalization cases. She approaches clients with kindness and tries to put them at ease by demonstrating her genuine care for them as people and their immigration cases.

Before joining the Catholic Charities team, Rachel worked as a paralegal in a small, private civil firm in Palo Alto, California. She graduated from Santa Clara University in 2020 with a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish, Women and Gender Studies and International Studies with a regional focus on Latin America. Rachel is passionate about assisting others, which is one of several reasons she decided to join the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.

Rachel loves hiking, running, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and generally being active and outdoors. From the San Francisco Bay Area, Rachel loves cheering on the San Francisco Giants and 49ers.
