Practice-Based

Innovation, Technology, & Process Improvement

Purpose-Built

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

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 share about my background in child welfare and human services. I’ll also dig into other programs and industries. I'll share the perspectives and experiences that bring meaning to the SHIFT and how my path from the field to innovation shaped my unique lens and skill-set. I will relentlessly say…

​

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

Practice and innovation should be joined at the hip…lead with practice and let technology take us where we need to go.

What sets Rachael apart from other advisors is her unwavering commitment to the well-being of families. Her work is not just about embracing technology for its own sake; it is about using technology to reimagine service delivery and improve outcomes for the families we serve. Her passion, drive and optimism are infectious!
