Rachel Bierschbach

Access Consultant

I'm Rachel, and my role as an Access Consultant is to support students with disabilities from the College for Adults (CFA) and Grad programs with reasonable accommodations for academics and fieldwork. My favorite thing about St. Kate's is the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. No two days are ever the same, but I can always count on the feeling of acceptance and support. In my free time, I enjoy dabbling in DIY house projects and binge-watching Netflix. I live in Minnetonka with my husband, daughter, and 2 fluffy golden retrievers.

Access Consultant

I'm Sara, and I am an Access Consultant. I help students receive their academic and fieldwork accommodations specializing in the Health Sciences programs. My favorite part of St Kate's is how open and friendly the environment is. The students, staff, and faculty truly seem to care for one another. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and playing with my two boys. A fun fact about me is that I hiked 20 different mountains in the Alps while I was living in Switzerland.

I'm Jessica, and I have been an Access Consultant in this office for the past 2 years. I’m excited to share that I am currently transitioning into the Director of Student Accessibility position. Before St. Kate’s, I worked in K-12 Special Education and have also served in multiple TRIO Program roles over the past 20 years. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the College of St. Benedict | St. John’s University. I have cherished my time at St. Kate’s so far, and really look forward to continue supporting our amazing staff and students!
