In 2022, Rachel started modeling when she was eighteen years old. She won the title of Miss SuperTalent of the World at the 15th pageant, which took place in Paris, France, that same year. A swimsuit and sportswear competition, a national costume parade, a preliminary competition, a closed interview session, and the final presentation were all part of her recent pageant preparations. 

Her Advise To Modelling Aspirants ~ ‘’My advice to young people — whether in modelling or any other field — is to follow their passions. When you pursue something that brings you happiness and fulfilment, success naturally follows. Don’t let the practicalities of the world limit your dreams. If you can envision it, you can achieve it.''

Luciana Fuster of Peru, the previous champion, declared Rachel the winner. The Miss Grand International team posted on social media to celebrate her victory. In her final speech, Rachel urged world leaders “to stop fighting and start respecting each other and to make sure that there are enough resources for everyone on this planet.” She is the epitome of grace, beauty, and genuine talent. With every stride she makes, may her path to achievement become even more radiant.
