Rachel joined the Conferences and Institutes team in April 2025. She is beyond thrilled to contribute her passion for program management, logistical coordination, and experiential education to the role. She believes strongly in the impact out-of-classroom learning experiences have on individuals of all ages and is excited to further this impact in her role with C&I.

Previously, Rachel was a program coordinator for the Penn State AURORA programs, where she supported the execution of outdoor orientation programs for incoming Penn State students. Rachel graduated from Penn State with bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and secondary math education.

In her free time, Rachel enjoys hiking, biking, reading, and playing musical instruments. She would describe herself as a glass-half-full kind of person, a lifelong learner, and a storyteller.
