Our Board - Rachael's First Week

Angi Fiege

Angi is an Indiana Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Trauma ICU Physician and the Medical Director of NASCAR/AMR Safety Teams and a member of the Indy Car Safety Team. More importantly, she is Rachael’s Mom and the woman behind our program. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, she shares her heartache with thousands of young people each year with the hope of changing the fate of just one student. She acts as second mom to many of Rachael’s friends, who label her as Momma Fiege.

Rick Fiege

Rick is Rachael’s dad and her biggest soccer supporter. Rick works as a Real Estate Broker and coaches club soccer. Whether you know him as Rick or Coach or Papa Fiege, you know that he is a behind-the-scenes kind of man. You may get lucky enough to see Coach Fiege at one of our programs, but usually his work for RFW is done outside of our program time.

Sharyl

Border

Sharyl’s relationship began with Rachael’s Family when her son played on Coach Fiege’s soccer team. After Rachael’s death, Sharyl helped conceptualize the idea of Rachael’s First Week. Despite so busy working as a Medical Administrator, you can almost always catch Sharyl at the RFW events, taking pictures and keeping Momma Fiege sane, program after program.

Kim

Van Ryzin

Kim started volunteering as a Rachael’s First Week LIVE! presenter when she was a medical student at IU. She is an invaluable member of the RFW Team. She is now a full-fledged doctor and has joined our board of directors.

Jeremy Fiege

Jeremy is Rachael’s brother and was one of her best friends. While you almost always find him at the fields coaching and working as a ref for youth club soccer. Jeremy often speaks at our programs about the Indiana LifeLine Law, as his passion towards the law increased after we lost Rachael. He is a very vital part of our presentations and this program.

Dr. Jill murphy

Jill has been with us for a few years and has taken a huge leadership role in recruiting new residents and reaching out to universities. Jill is an Emergency Medicine physician. She is one of our SafeTEA podcasts co-hosts. Chances are you’ll also see her on stage at a program, as she is a regular speaker. You may also witness her putting one of the largest boys in the crowd into a recovery position on stage. We love Jill and are thankful for her dedication to our team!

About Rachael’s First Week

Rachael’s First Week LIVE! is a program dedicated to protecting the lives of high school seniors and college freshmen as they transition into young adult women and men.

These can be tumultuous years when peers often look to each other for guidance as they encounter novel and potentially dangerous situations, rather than engaging experienced mentors to provide solutions.

The mission of Rachael’s First Week is to develop the decision-making skills of teens as they enter this time of monumental change in their lives.
