About Raquel

A proud Philadelphia native, I've loved singing and being on stage since I was a kid. Despite that, I spent all of my childhood and most of high school horseback riding (see photo below).

While I've always loved theater, it wasn't until I was in a production of The Laramie Project in high school that I realized I wanted to pursue acting professionally. I was profoundly inspired by the deep impact the storytelling had on myself and my community. I knew I wanted to be apart of creating new types of conversations. To be in spaces and create work that helps facilitate change and new ways of thinking. I have always found the most exciting and meaningful art to be art which pushes boundaries and challenges people's preconceived notions. I also love myself a dark comedy. 

After graduating high school I moved to NYC where I received my BFA in Acting with a minor in Musical Theater from Marymount Manhattan College. 

Since graduating in 2018, I have worked in theater and film both regionally and in New York. I'm addicted to the wam weather and  outdoors (yes, I do become depressed during winter in New York!) and love to travel, hike, camp, swim and play outside as much as I possibly can. I am also determined to make this the year horseback riding becomes an active part of my life again so I can reclaim my previous title, Raquel-HorseGirl.
