Rachel Pizzolato moves with purpose across film, fashion, science, and sport. Actress, inventor, Swimsuit USA Queen. Relentlessly multidimensional, disciplined, and just getting started.
From the moment Rachel Pizzolato sits down with Empyreal Magazine, one thing becomes immediately clear: she does not move through the world quietly. She charges forward with intention, intellect, and momentum. Actress. Model. Inventor. Swimsuit USA Queen. Stunt performer. And somehow, still just getting started. Rachel is what we call a force of nature, and meeting her, you understand why that phrase feels less like praise and more like fact.
Rachel’s story is rooted in curiosity and drive. Raised in an environment that encouraged exploration and ambition, she was never confined to a single lane. Acting, modeling, gymnastics, science, engineering, each passion fed the next. That multidimensional energy became the foundation of a career that refuses to be boxed in. Even early challenges, including the sacrifices that came with constant travel and an unconventional adolescence, sharpened her independence and resilience rather than slowing her down.

What sets Rachel apart is not just the scope of her work, but the seriousness with which she approaches it. As an inventor, she has competed and excelled in science fairs and engineering competitions, developing original processes and projects that earned awards and recognition. Her mind is analytical, inventive, and relentlessly curious, a rare combination in an industry that often rewards surface over substance. Rachel brings both.
On screen, her range is equally formidable. Over the past year alone, she has appeared in a slate of film projects including Round The Decay, Three Killer Pigs, Wax Man, and Once Upon A Dream, each role adding another layer to her evolving presence. There is ease to her performances, but also discipline, a clear understanding of storytelling and collaboration that comes through in every frame.
Fashion has taken notice. Rachel has walked runways at Miami Swim Week, Las Vegas Swim Week, and Los Angeles Swim Week, commanding attention with confidence and control. Her crowning achievement came in Cancun, where she won the Swimsuit USA International competition, earning the title of Swimsuit USA Queen. It was a moment that felt earned, not flashy. Rachel does not chase the spotlight. It responds to her.
The sunrise session at Swimsuit USA was fast, intentional, and visually bold. Shot across multiple looks and setups, the series captured Rachel in full command of the frame as the light shifted minute by minute. From strong sculptural poses in the red suit to fluid movement along the shoreline, the shoot had range, confidence, and edge. Nothing felt passive. Every frame carried presence.
Model Rachel Pizzolato photoshoot with Empyreal Magazine on the beach.
Photographed by Michael Pizzoli, the images lean into contrast and attitude. Strong silhouettes against the horizon. Clean lines. Direct eye contact. Movement that feels athletic rather than posed. The ocean and early morning light added texture, but the focus never drifted. Rachel drove the shoot with precision and control, shifting energy effortlessly from powerful to playful to intense.
This was not about chasing a single standout image. It was about building a complete visual story. The result is a series that feels editorial, modern, and unapologetic. These photographs do not simply accompany the article. They establish the tone. Confident. Focused. Unmistakably Rachel.
Beyond modeling and acting, Rachel is actively training in stunt work, preparing herself for high impact action roles with the same discipline she brings to every craft. Her ambitions include mainstream television and major franchises, and she approaches that goal with focus and physical commitment. This is not a side pursuit. It is a deliberate expansion.
What makes Rachel’s trajectory even more compelling is the humanity beneath it all. She speaks openly about family, responsibility, and care, particularly about traveling with and supporting her mother following a diagnosis of early onset dementia. Rather than stepping back, Rachel has folded love into motion, turning every experience into something shared. Strength, in her world, is not solitary.
Looking ahead, Rachel shows no signs of slowing. New film projects are underway. She has signed with a new modeling agency, continues her education, and remains deeply committed to community work with organizations such as the Salvation Army and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Her life is not a balancing act. It is forward momentum with purpose.
Rachel Pizzolato does not fit a mold. She builds her own. And as far as Empyreal Magazine is concerned, this is only the beginning.
