Inevitably,
the two achievements on Rachel's resume that people find
most interesting, tend to be that she was "Bruiser Bear,"
Baylor University's mascot as a senior at Baylor and that
she earned a black belt in tae-kwon-do her senior year of
high school.
Rachel believes her highest achievements to be her marriage
of ten years to her husband Riley Woods, and her new title
as mother to little Jackson Riley Woods.
