Rachel Marie Burgess

As a child, Rachel loved to read books and write short stories. As she got older, Rachel began to realize she loved bringing stories to life and wanted to take these stories from words on a page to live action on a screen. She slowly began to work herself into an acting career, and when she was 10, she discovered her passion for music. She began taking trumpet lessons, maintaining the title of 1st chair, section leader since the age of 11. Since then, she has performed countless NYSSMA solos, and performed for All State and All County. The little musical star has also taught herself piano, guitar, bass, percussion, clarinet, and trombone. Rachel grew up around West Point, NY, just an hour from New York City. Rachel has seen numerous Broadway shows, and while in High School, was an avid participant in both the Drama and Music departments. Flash forward 3 years, Rachel is now in her 3rd year of college, majoring in Molecular Cellular Developmental Biology, Psychology, and Math, starting at the University of Colorado Boulder, and then transferring to a university in California. Having only been in LA a short amount of time, she has already filmed for two pilots and worked with Anna Kendrick in her recent music project, directed by Jason Moore. Along with acting, music, and school, Rachel is also an artist, a talented snowboarder and has played lacrosse, basketball, soccer, and tennis.
