Rachel is a very competent and focused individual who displayed great initiative and attention to detail with her coursework. She is very personable and energetic and I've no doubt she would be a pleasure to work with. During her studies, Rachel volunteered to work on several events to gain event management experience and she was well thought of in these roles. I think she would be an asset to any organisation.
