Rachel Adams graduated from the UVA School of Nursing in 2005 and has since worked in a variety of settings, locally and internationally, including pediatrics, maternal and newborn care, public health, and community nursing. She especially enjoys working with international populations, providing relationship-based care and engaging with patients in community settings.

Rachel holds certificates in Global Health from UAB-Birmingham and Functional Medicine for Nurses from the Integrative Nurse Coaching Academy. She is also a certified doula through DTI. She joined UVA’s Mobile Health program in 2024. Interestingly, her office is located in the same building complex where (many decades ago) she was born and spent her first five weeks in the NICU.

Rachel enjoys creative writing, traveling, yoga, and hiking the Blue Ridge with her dog, Lucy.
