Bio
Sarah E.
Rachel was the ultimate talent to interview. I would interview Rachel on many occasions for NBNNine News in her role as CEO at Coast Shelter. Her engagement with the media was always professional, on point and flawless. The topics she had to address and the questions she was faced answering were often hard, uncomfortable and sometimes distressing, yet Rachel always stood strong and with the utmost empathy, answered all queries truthfully and with heartfelt passion. She always commanded a strong leadership presence but at the same time always stood as an equal amongst everyone. Her passion for working with people who are homeless and doing it tough always shines through as her driving force, matched with her natural skill to lead and explore options outside the square.

Rachel approached every task with professionalism, a great attitude, and generally just made us all feel supported as we moved through a challenging time. We are very grateful for Rachel's contribution to our situation, one that she helped us to resolve efficiently, and at minimal cost/impact to our community.
