She is passionate about working with companies and business leaders who share this belief, and whose goal is to make their workplace more Human while increasing their bottom line
When she is not on the job, Rachel can be found watching any Bay Area or Texas A&M sports team, exploring a new restaurant in Downtown Austin, or walking her dog, Rigatoni.
