Equal parts glamour, nerdiness, and rock n’ roll. Put them all together in a cauldron under the full moon, just add coffee, and a Raquel will rise from the depths! (But don’t try this at home.)

I was born in the Bay Area and raised in rural Arizona before heading to Sin City to get my degree in English and Creative Writing from UNLV. After college, I made a name for myself as a fashion model in NYC, but eventually the siren call of the Vegas lights beckoned me home.

I’ve walked in multiple seasons of New York Fashion Week, as well as fashion weeks in LA, San Diego, and Las Vegas, and have been featured in magazines and on TV. You may have seen me waving my Harry Potter wand as a semi-finalist on America’s Next Top Model.

Modeling wasn’t my only gig before joining the Cleebo team. I’ve been a preschool teacher, an art museum tour guide, and even a copper miner! I seek out the gamut of human experiences and am not afraid to go play in the dirt. In my free time I like to go to art and music festivals, comic conventions, watch animated and sci-fi TV shows, and play tabletop board games. I also love drawing and writing, and hope to eventually publish a novel or comic book.

My favorite game is Cleebo 21, but come to any of my tables to discuss scientific theory, copper mining, couture fashion, or just to share a laugh. I’m a strong believer in being yourself–even if that person is a little strange. In my opinion, all the best people are. See you on the tables, earthlings!
