Rachel launched her nursing career at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. She worked on the oncology unit, administering chemotherapy to children with cancer and learning about the challenges families face when impacted with cancer. She found great fulfillment working in oncology, and sought a similar job when she relocated to Columbia.
Rachel began working with Dr. Crowder at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, where she ran the gynecologic oncology clinical trials research program. As a team, they were consistently the top recruiters to clinical trials at the cancer center. Rachel enjoyed working as part of a team, and her attention to detail for the research and chemotherapy patients were crucial to their success.
With their continued team approach, Rachel joined Dr. Crowder in the private practice setting. To broaden her education, Rachel returned to Sinclair School of Nursing at the University of Missouri to pursue her Nurse Practitioner degree. All this while working full time with Dr. Crowder and raising her family. Their team approach to provide specialty care for women transitioned to Rachel’s role as a nurse practitioner in 2015.
