Rachel works with the Tamarack's Learning Centre to develop online learning products, printed learning materials, brochures, website content and additional communication materials required for dissemination to communities across Canada.

Rachel studied English and Media, Information and Technoculture at the University of Western Ontario, earning an Honours Bachelor of Arts and Certificate in Writing. During this time, she solidified her passion for community, culture, global issues and writing when writing for local newspapers, and volunteering for organizations such as INFUSION Canada, Students Taking Action Now: Darfur, and LondonSpot.

Rachel is a native of Guelph, and nothing makes her happier than a good book, working out, family and friends, and a bright smile from her daughter, Denise.
