My big wins of 2019

1/1/2020

0 Comments

 
2019 was one hell of a year — one filled with magnificent challenges and triumphs. I’m grateful for all of the people I met and the experiences that I lived. Above all, I'm eager for what the next year and decade holds.

Here's my year-in-review: 
Picture
  1. Traveling to New York and Massachusettes with my sister.
  2. Working in an emotionally abusive, toxic environment - it pushed me to get the hell out of dodge and still serves as my "why" for starting my business. I don't ever want to be in a position where someone else controls my schedule or income again. 
  3. Joining the Rising Tide Society - when I realized I wanted to work for myself, I joined a support group for creative entrepreneurs. Not only did the Rising Tide Society open doors to consulting opportunities, it allowed me to forge personal and professional connections. 
  4. Getting a full-time job -  I still aspire to have my own business,  but when I saw the opportunity for a Marketing and Communications Assistant position at Michigan Medicine for a non-profit extension that aligned well with my mission and values, I couldn't resist. This job has kicked my ass, but in the best way. I've gotten to attend the Digital Summit Series in Detroit, sit in on podcast recordings, hone my outreach skills, and so much more. I'm beyond grateful to work for such a supportive organization.
  5. Moving out - I am humbled to have the means to afford my own place, and live with one of my best friends.  Since I was 15 and got my second cat, I have dreamed of the day that I got to live with both of them. Well, here we are :)

Testimonials

"Rachel was my digital strategist for a year. I'm incredibly pleased with her innovation, work ethic, persistence, diplomacy, and creativity. She does more than sit back and let me dictate to her. She jumps in as a valued collaborator.  If needed, she has learned a new skill and pursued formal education to assist in any task I ask. If you have the opportunity to work with Rachel DO IT, she's like a whole team in one person,"
- Pamela Stewart, author.

"Rachel approaches all projects with heart and a lot of passion. She envelopes herself in the subject matter of her work, and she strives for perfection. She's not afraid to reach out when she needs help, wants to do more, or is looking for another perspective on things. Rachel is someone I would turn to for projects that need a creative lens or greater sensitivity. She is encouraging -- both personally and professionally -- and cheers for all to succeed. She's sure to bring an aura of positivity wherever she goes,"
- Caitlin Taylor, former Editor-in-Chief of Her Campus-Michigan State University, current reporter for the Monroe News.

- Joannna Bosse, Associate Dean for Academic Programs & Associate Professor for Michigan State University's Residential College in the Arts and Humanities.
