RACHEL INFANTE, CFP® | Birchwood Financial Partners

Rachel has a passion for helping those going through, or who have experienced a divorce. As one who has been through a divorce herself, with young children, she sympathizes with the shock and complexity this can bring. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst^® professional, she helps those better understand the financial aspects of the divorce process and the unique financial planning that follows.

Rachel volunteered for many years with the Financial Planning Association, planning and coordinating an annual conference that brings lots of education to financial advisors each year. She is also involved with Best Prep as an e‐mentor helping high school students learn more about financial planning and the importance of this throughout their lives.

Rachel is originally a native of Texas but has called Minnesota home for many years. Rachel currently lives in Chaska with her twins Amelia and Austin. She loves to travel, camp, hike and spend time outdoors as much as the Minnesota weather allows.
