Growing up in Omaha, Rachel Turek aspired to be a veterinarian but shifted gears when she received a B, in place of her typical A, in college chemistry. She was ultimately inspired to join the accounting profession by her CPA mother.

“My mom was a CPA and I always looked up to her,” said Turek. “She was a rockstar mom and business woman and it was so inspiring.”
