While at NYU, Rachel was awarded the Maurice Freiman Memorial Award for exemplary performance in the clinical clerkships. She then completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California Los Angeles where she received the award for outstanding performance in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

She also presented her work at numerous meetings, including the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society. Her research has focused on usable embryo rates in patients who use PGT-M, fertility preservation outcomes in patients with Turner Syndrome, and the impact of endometrial thickness on birth outcomes. She is honored to begin her REI fellowship training at Jefferson-RMA (now Everleap Fertility).
