Rachel Woods

At Boston College, Rachel received the Award for Clinical Excellence for her work with the school’s Innocence Clinic and has been published in the University of Hawaiʻi Law Review. Rachel has clerked for the Rhode Island Supreme Court, worked at Gutman, Mintz, Baker & Sonnenfeldt LLP, and is now the Founder and CEO of R.F. Woods Consulting. 

Rachel's educational experiences are invaluable to her, so she decided to use her talents to help others achieve their educational aspirations. She understands how overwhelming and anxiety-ridden the law school application process can be. She loves taking that burden away from applicants by breaking down the process to be more straightforward and understandable. Her goal as a coach is to reduce stress for applicants, allowing future law students to focus on highlighting their strengths and achieving their educational goals.

When working with applicants, Rachel strives to keep the mood light and the environment calm and relaxed. Once she has achieved a relaxed atmosphere and a student’s trust, she works to break down materials so the process is manageable, organized, and can be completed efficiently. Rachel’s greatest strengths as a coach include creating realistic timelines and helping students create standout personal statements and resumes. 

In her spare time, Rachel enjoys home organization, traveling to visit family, and spending time with her husband, daughters, and dog.
