Rachel is a Managing Associate at NPAG, working closely with her team and clients to design and implement successful and thoughtful leadership searches. She is particularly passionate and experienced in economic development and justice work, as well as designing inclusive and conscientious change management processes - particularly through times of growth and scaling. Her career journey includes managing a lending team at a national CDFI, organizing students around immigration and mass incarceration in grad school, pastoring at a multi-ethnic church on the northside of Chicago, working as a paralegal during her Americorps service in her hometown of Jamestown, NY, and several summers as a program director for a summer camp during undergrad.

Rachel received her BA in History from Allegheny College, with minors in Political Science and Spanish, a Masters of Nonprofit Administration from North Park University, and a Masters of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary.

Outside of work, Rachel’s slowly getting to know the Boston metro area with her husband, Taylor, and their tiny dog, Cotton. Having relocated from Arizona in 2023, she’s relearning how to survive cold winters, a hostile landscape dotted with Red Sox and Patriots fans, and enjoying all the beauty, food, and fun travel destinations around New England.
