After studying Politics and International Studies at University Rachel headed to London to start her career in the charity sector. After roles at the Brain and Spine Foundation, International Childcare Trust, the Alzheimer's Society and a few years in Belfast at Queen’s University, Rachel moved back to Scotland and took up the role of Philanthropy Manager at Children’s Hospices Across Scotland. When she’s not working, Rachel loves to travel, whether it’s around Scotland or the world. When she can't get away she loves to read travel books or cook up food in the kitchen. Malaysian cuisine is one of her favourites.
