Rachel’s roots in conservation began with collecting seeds and foraging with her dad on the Army bases where she grew up. Rachel attended Eastern Michigan University where she obtained a bachelor's degree in Organizational Communication and a master’s degree with a focus in Interpersonal Communication. She worked with schools and businesses in the Detroit suburbs and Mid-Michigan region to incorporate conservation activities. Rachel loves organizing the community around conservation so she was delighted to join the ECD team as Environmental Outreach Coordinator in the Spring of 2022. Rachel was promoted to Executive Director in the Fall of 2022. Rachel lives in Delta Township with her family, where she plants as many varieties of native edibles as she can get her hands on.
