Rachel has been in the nonprofit industry for roughly 7 years. Working for an animal shelter, homeless shelter, food bank, and now literacy nonprofit, she takes pride in working in the industry that gives back to her local community. She developed her passion for the outdoors while attending Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Since then, she has hiked 2 National Parks (Acadia and Haleakala) and plans on traveling out west to enjoy more of what Mother Nature has to offer!
In her free time, you can catch her volunteering for local beach cleanups in Coastal Virginia, kayaking the Elizabeth River, and enjoying a good book in her Eno hammock.
