During these internships, Rachel participated in several research projects and publications focused on avian clinical pathology. Rachel looks forward to continuing to contribute to the growing body of literature on avian medicine throughout her career. Rachel is very excited to be joining the Medical Center for Birds team and undertaking a residency to become board-certified as a specialist in avian medicine. Her favorite birds are cockatoos, although she considers every day she gets to work with birds as a privilege. She currently shares her home with four galahs (Sydney, Zoe, Archie, and Ozzie) and three cockatiels (Butter, Baby, and Sachi) who have their own room and prevent Rachel's life from ever being boring!
