Rachel is a graduate of Wayne State University with her Bachelor’s in English and minor in African American Studies; with a background in science. She was born and raised here in Michigan about 15 minutes away from Detroit. The outdoors is somewhere that she has always found herself being drawn to, stemming from a love of animals. It was through her love
of animals that led her to a passion for learning about the environments that they live in. Which resulted in a passion for nature itself.
She believes that everyone has a place in nature and should have the opportunity to access it. To carve out a space for themselves and interact with it in the way that resonates with them.
Now working as a Naturalist for the Detroit Parks & Recreation Department for a little over two years, she hopes to continue to gain knowledge and experience within the outdoor field. Aiming, in her role, to help introduce others to countless aspects of nature, so they also can witness its beauty, but most importantly feel comfortable and safe while doing so.
