Rachel is truly amazing. She is such an asset to any team. Rachel is incredibly organized and a project management guru. Most importantly she is deeply committed to social justice and prioritizes building genuine relationships in the community. I am grateful to be working with Rachel through San Diego Food System Alliance. I learn so much from Rachel's deeply thoughtful and caring approach.

Rachel is efficient, responsive and dedicated. While serving as Rachel's VISTA Leader I have had no complaints or issues with her work style. She is always on top of everything that I have asked along with being an engaged member of her VISTA cohort. Although Rachel was not in the same state as myself, I always felt confident in her ability to complete her work along with striving to be an effective change maker in the community she was serving. It has been a privilege for me to see Rachel speak to her peers at our End Year Conference about all of the work she has done around SNAP and Benefits Access. I am certain Rachel will be a great member of any team as she exemplifies the ability to be collaborative, timely and dedicated. I am confident in recommending her.
