Rachel Jackson is excited to be part of the CYT North Idaho team! She recently relocated from San Diego, where she worked as a music teacher and theater director. Rachel grew up immersed in theater and choir, which sparked her enduring passion for the performing arts. CYT also holds a special place in her heart as she performed in her first CYT San Diego show at eight years old and continued participating in theater throughout her school years. She went on to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Point Loma Nazarene University, followed by a Master’s Degree in Education and a Teaching Credential from Azusa Pacific University. Rachel then worked as a music teacher at Coastal Academy where she taught students in kindergarten through eighth grade and led the musical theater program. She is thrilled to bring her love for the arts, along with her organizational skills and teaching experience, to support the team at CYT North Idaho. Rachel is honored to contribute to a program that fosters creativity, builds character, and encourages the use of our gifts for God’s glory.
