In addition to acting, Rebecca is a real estate agent in New York City and a fierce advocate for affordable housing. After 14 years at McGehee, Rebecca got a BA at The University of Arkansas and a Master of Fine Arts at Juilliard.

In her reflections about the impact of McGehee’s Honor Code, Rebecca writes, “It’s a tricky world right now. Honor and integrity have never been more important. I am beyond thankful that I was introduced to an honor code at such a young age. Think what could be solved if this was a universal practice.”

“I work in an industry where I have witnessed many colleagues make compromises to ‘land the role’. I make choices staying true to myself, which means I don’t get every role. And that’s just fine with me. Going through life boldly hoping to say ‘yes’! yet also knowing when ‘no’ is the appropriate answer. That’s all McGehee.“
