With a background in politics and law, Rachael brings a thoughtful, people-first approach to her work. She helps clients navigate complex issues with clarity and compassion, often resolving matters through negotiation and mediation rather than court proceedings.

Outside of work, Rachael enjoys sports, music, and spending time with friends and family.
