She was principal cellist of the West Valley Chamber Orchestra for eight years, where she was featured as a soloist performing works such as Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in Bb, Haydn’s C Major Concerto, Saint-Saens Concerto No. 1, Vivaldi’s Double Concerto in g minor, Boccherini’s Concerto in Bb, Faure’s Elegie and Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, among others. ​ Rachael's students have won top awards in competitions such as ASTA, PTA, VOCE, SYMF, LAVS, YAG, and Memorial Awards, among others.

Without their influence, guidance, and support she knows her life would be very different. ​ Learning to her is a lot like life, and the journey itself is much more important than the end.
