Rachel has worked in the Animal Rights movement for over 13 years - from PETA and PEAK Animal Sanctuary to The Humane League and now New Roots Institute. She brings a wealth of diversified fundraising experience, specializing in recurring giving programs, stewardship and retention, and a donor-centric approach to communicating and engaging with donors as partners in this work.
Outside of work, Rachel is a board member of the Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center which fundraises and provides program support for the Norfolk city animal shelter. She holds a strong commitment to mutual aid and community building. Otherwise, you can find her reading and cuddling one of her cats, buying more books than she could possibly read, trying a new vegan recipe, or at the beach.
