Past Lives

Prior to joining Madrona, Rachel graduated from Highline College and began working alongside and supporting the founder of a Seattle startup. She learned a tremendous amount in her five years working with the startup’s leadership team as the company grew and expanded its services. In 2015 Rachel was ready for her next chapter and found her way to Madrona.

Extracurriculars

In the time she spends outside of Madrona, Rachel loves an evening spent with her husband and friends over dinner, drinks, and a show. And as much as she enjoys a weekend with the girls, she equally craves a weekend working in her yard, ordering takeout, and binging the latest HBO series.

Love for the PNW

For Rachel, Washington has always been home. With a few exceptions, her family and friends are here in Washington. She appreciates all the beauty the PNW has to offer and the fact that her people are never too far away.

Journey to Madrona

Before joining Madrona, Rachel worked alongside and supported the founder of a Seattle area startup. Working alongside the company’s leadership team for five years, Rachel got a close look at the peaks and valleys that come with building a first-of-its-kind company. Because of this experience, Rachel greatly admires the founders that come to Madrona with such enthusiasm to build something new.

When she’s not in the office…

Rachel loves to spend time out and about with her husband and friends. And as much as she enjoys being on the go, she equally craves a quiet weekend at home working in the yard, ordering takeout, and bingeing the latest series curled up on the couch.
