Rebekah lives with her daughter, Cadence, just north of Boston where she teaches high school English. She completed her undergraduate degree in English and received her master's degree in teaching at the University of South Carolina. Since her daughter's diagnosis, Rebekah has also participated in fundraising for Great Strides and hopes to one day publish a memoir to help spread awareness.
