“I was lucky enough to work with Rachel as a freelance writer and as a direct report when she brought me onto her team full time. Rachel can pull off a kick-ass campaign or produce valuable content in her sleep - at least, that's how she makes it look. She understands problems, finds solutions, and executes to perfection. But what stands out to me the most about Rachel is her leadership qualities. Rachel consistently encouraged her team to bring their unique talents to the table and make an impact. That, coupled with her hands-on guidance, created an environment where people felt safe to think big, take risks, and do their best work. I am grateful for my time working under Rachel's mentorship.”
