After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Biology and Peace studies from Manhattan College, Rachel Preiss spent a year doing virology research followed by a year teaching English in China before finding her passion in nursing.
Rachel earned her Master's of Science in Nursing from Boston College in 2008 and completed her post-Master's certificate Nursing Education in 2009. Since that time she has worked in a range of clinical settings including primary care, infertility, general obstetrics and gynecology, and as a sexual assault nurse examiner.
Today, Rachel practices both at a large infertility clinic in the Boston metro area and at the Dimock Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center in one of Boston's most diverse neighborhoods. Rachel also teaches Advanced Family planning to clinicians throughout Massachusetts through the local Title X grant program.
In her spare time, Rachel hones her carpentry and craft skills with projects all over her house and builds a lot of forts with her 5 year old son.
