Bio
Holli Seibert
1. Rachel’s general philanthropic spirit and kind heart make her perfectly suited to be a great asset to any non-profit lucky enough to have her. She learns things thoroughly because she cares so much about the mission she’s serving and is always willing to share that information with teammates to help move that mission along together. She’s never out of ideas, her wheels are always turning with inspiration for improvements and new ways to help support the cause. Rachel is also meticulously organized because she knows that every little detail matters from duplicate data in the system down to which envelope an acknowledgment letter gets sent out in. It was my pleasure to work with her and I know she will continue to be a great addition to any team she joins.
