Raquel served as an Ordnance Officer in the U.S. Army before founding the company, passionately believing it was important to serve her country before becoming an entrepreneur. And this was for good reason, as serving is in her blood — her grandmother, mother, and aunt were all in the U.S. military.

Raquel is an alum of Hampton University. She graduated as a Distinguished Military Graduate from the Reserve Officer Training Corps at Hampton. She simultaneously graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. She also has a Mastery of Negotiation certification from Harvard University.

Raquel's accomplishments have been noted in both her military and civilian career. In the Army, she was awarded the Army Commendation Medal (2x) and the Army Achievement Medal (3x). Raquel was selected as the "Veteran of the Year" 2011, by Women Veteran's Rock. She was recently inducted into the Library of Congress under the "Veterans History Project" where her military history is now stored in video and pictures.
