Description
Hey, my name is Rachel and I'm very passionate about sustainability and conservation! I grew up on a farm in Illinois, USA where we raised cattle, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, and we grew corn and soybeans. In addition to my farming background, I had three majors relating to Agriculture Policy during undergrad and I last worked as an economist in Washington, DC.
I play a few instruments in my free time, love interesting conversation, and am always excited to get my hands dirty for a project! :)Interests
