Rachel is the Database Specialist at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and is originally from the Saginaw Bay region.

She graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Film, Television, and Media. While she once aspired to the glitz of Hollywood, she has since found she feels most at home with the Great Lakes as her backyard and a warm apple cider in hand during the winter.

When Rachel isn’t searching for Petoskey stones, she can be found thrifting for new treasures, playing with her dachshunds, Odie and Henry, or spending time with her nephews.
