Rachel Faught, DNP received her Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry from The Evergreen State College, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University, and a Master of Science in Nursing at Frontier Nursing University where she is currently enrolled in a doctorate program.

Rachel worked in emergency nursing for 7 years. “I love emergency and trauma medicine, but I decided to become a nurse practitioner because my true passion is patient education. My experience in the emergency department has shown me that people who understand their condition are more likely to follow through with treatments and gain control of their health. Education is remarkably empowering.”

Rachel was born in the Pacific Northwest but being part of an active duty Army family, they have travel extensively.  Rachel, her husband and three boys will be taking advantage of the many outdoors activities like: hunting, hiking, camping, and whitewater rafting. While the boys may enjoy adventuring, as Rachel says, “I enjoy being outside too, but more like toes in the sand and an umbrella in my drink, not hiking Mt Rainier.”
