About Rachael
Rachael Nixon grew up in the greater Seattle WA area before moving down to Fullerton CA back in 2002. She was a flight attendant from 1999-2006 where she met and married her favorite person, Tommy Nixon in 2003. Rachel had 5 wonderful children in the years that followed and chose to stay home with them once the first one arrived. It has been her joy to be able to do that, although living on one income in Orange County hasn't always been the easiest.
Her other greatest joys in life are traveling and foodie adventures. She looks forward to a time when she and her husband will be able to do these things more frequently. Rachael has recently enjoyed becoming part of our team here. In her role as a paralegal she gets to help families find a sense of peace in knowing they have done their best to love their families well, in the here and now AND in the future. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you with all your needs.
