Since her early years spent horseback riding and surrounded by various pets, followed by a transformative summer at ‘SeaCamp’ in the Florida Keys, Rachel has always been deeply passionate about animals. Joining WCN’s team in June 2019 as Donor Engagement Coordinator was a dream come true for her, and she is thrilled to connect philanthropists who share her dedication with causes worthy of their support in her current role as Donor Engagement Officer. Previously, Rachel managed programs akin to those that inspired her while also aiding in wildlife rehabilitation at The Marine Mammal Center. Prior to relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, she served as an environmental educator for the city’s recreation department while pursuing her B.S. in marine biology at the Honors College of Charleston in South Carolina. Outside of work, Rachel enjoys live music, vegan cooking, fitness classes, and adventures with her cat or other loved ones.
