Cardiology has been an exciting and deeply rewarding journey for me. My career began as an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse, where I gained valuable insight into critical care that strengthened my passion for cardiology. In 2018, I earned my Master of Science and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (MS, ACNP-AG) degree from Georgetown University.

Each day, I find it an honor to care for our patients and collaborate with a dedicated team of professionals. I take pride in helping patients understand their diagnosis and treatment, and in supporting them as they improve their quality of life.
Outside of my work, I devote time to both my family and my service to our country. I have served in the U.S. Navy since 2011 and am passionate about caring for our Veterans. It was a privilege to be deployed to Afghanistan in 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis. That experience deepened my respect and gratitude for their sacrifice and resilience.
When I’m not working or serving, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially outdoors—we love staying active and exploring nature together.

Breath of fresh air. Listened to everything going on and was informative and pro active. A+++
She was very professional
My appointment was at 9:15 in the morning… She came into the room at 9:45. This is my first time seeing her. She is new to the practice. The person that she is replacing was very prompt as I am very prompt. When I made note of her lateness, she took massive offense, and the appointment basically ended.
Rachel was awesome, very friendly, informative and supportive! Thank you
Listened carefully and diagnosis with imaging. Very personal able and full of important information guiding me through my next stage of life. Highly recommend
