I grew up in Wichita, KS and began my academic journey at Sterling College in 2018 on a golf scholarship, majoring in Health Science. After graduating in 2022, I embarked on a two-year path through the Athletic Training Program. I completed my master’s degree in May 2024 and was thrilled to be hired back at Sterling College as an assistant Athletic Trainer. I am eager to contribute to the college community that has meant so much to me. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with animals, watching movies, reading books, following sports, and exploring the outdoors

Dr. Rachel Danley recently called Scotland “home,” but is now returning to her first home in Kansas. Her parents met and married while attending Sterling College, and she was born in Lyons. After growing up as a pastor’s kid in rural Iowa, she served in college ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for 13 years where she grew a love for God, His Word, and students from around the world. From this experience, God led her to commit herself to the academy long-term and to delve deeper into Scripture through the biblical languages in her master’s programs.
