Rachel De Barros Early Life Bio: Age, Parents, Education

Rachel was born on August 4, 1978. She was born to Brazilian parents and was raised in Washington, D.C. 

She developed an interest in working on hardware and mechanics watching her father worked as a circuit repairman. She also got inspired by her uncle, who owned an auto body fix shop. She was introduced to bodywork and paint while helping out her uncle at his collision shop.

She pursued her dream and completed her education simultaneously. She went to college to pursue a degree in marketing. Intending to save herself some money for her education, she used to repair her car by herself. 

This ultimately turned out to be her first business with students being the majority of her customers, who found it convenient to have her come to their residences to fix their cars. She went on to launch her own boutique design and interactive marketing company called Purple Star Media. Meanwhile, she continued to learn the various technical skill set by completing the Automotive Training & Repair Program at the Philadelphia Automotive Training School.
