She made her mark at Rangitoto College, where she played a pivotal role in securing a DII Nationals title in 2012 and a 4th place finish in 2015. Her strong performances earned her selections in tournament teams at both Nationals and Auckland Champs.

Rachael pursued collegiate volleyball in the United States, competing for Eastern Florida State College (NJCAA D1) before transferring to Bethel University (NAIA), where she became the SSAC Player of the Year, an NAIA First-Team All-American, and an All-Conference standout.
