Rachel won bronze in the four at the 2007 World U23 Championships, adding to the bronze medal she won in 2006 at the World Junior Rowing Championships in the women's eight.
Most recently she competed at the Youth Olympic Festival in Australia, where she won two gold medals in the quadruple scull and in the women's eight.
Last summer she competed in the Commonwealth Regatta in Strathclyde in the women's pair for England, in which she won bronze. She has competed at the Coupe de la Jeunesse on three occasions; in 2004 she won silver in a pair, in 2003 she finished 6th in the single scull event and in 2002 she won a bronze in the quadruple scull.
Rachael learnt to row at Headington School Boat Club from the age of 11. She decided to try it initally because she liked the look of rowing.
She has just completed her second year of a Natural Sciences degree at Cambridge University, which she hopes will lead her into a career in sports physiology.
