I have had the pleasure of working with Rachel for most of her tenure at DAC. She is without a doubt one of the most exceptional people I have ever worked with. She is incredibly sharp, hard working and a proactive problem solver; she doesn’t rest until the work is done (and done impeccably). In addition to her solid work ethic is her personality; she is a team player, has an amazing laugh and is so charismatic. Her clients LOVE her. I think it’s clear I’m a huge fan and would recommend her to you without a moments hesitation. You want her on your team. End of story.
