I'm Rachael... Unapologetically Mission-Driven

Welcome! I'm Rachael - daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, friend, and SOCIAL WORKER. I've spent nearly three decades serving the child welfare industry and shifting traditional approaches to more engaging, and collaborative processes. Whether practice or innovation, the needs are the same because the common denominator is always people.

If we get the "people part" right, we can pave the way to lasting outcomes and brighter futures.

"SHIFT Happens" the Blog
Coming Soon!

In my Blog, ‘Shift Happens’ (no pun intended…well, maybe…), I share my experience and ideas about making SHIFT HAPPEN in public sector programs. 

I have a lot to say about my background in human services. I’ll also dig into other programs and industries. I'll share the perspectives and experiences that bring meaning to the SHIFT. I will relentlessly say…

“People & Partnerships are MOST important in Public Service.”
