Rachel Winburn

Rachel Winburn

Guest Service Member

My name is Rachel Winburn and my family and I moved here in the middle of 2020. We ended up here because like many others my husband got stationed at Fort Bragg as an Active Duty service member. We both originated in Washington State where we met in Junior High School. After graduating, I got my bachelor’s degree at Central Washington University in Family Consumer Sciences specializing in Family Studies. Then I found my passion in early childhood education, I took a few years off to raise my children. We have three amazing children Sophia, Ronald, and Leona. During that time, I got my master’s degree at Grand Canyon University for Mental Health and Wellness with an emphasis in Family Dynamics. 
After recently moving to the area, we explored our new neighborhood and stumbled upon Rick’s Place. We quickly fell in love with RHF and everyone at Rick’s Place. They haven’t been able to get rid of us since.
