We asked Rachael a few questions…

Name a book or blog that changed your life?

When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi

In 5 words or less, describe what has been most important to your success in your career?

Resilience, laughter, network, growth mindset—it can even be one word (curiosity).

What are you working on now? OR.. What are you most proud of in your accomplishments so far.

Now = Building a tech company from the ground up. I am climbing a different mountain every day and so I am getting better and better at climbing!

If you could give your 20-year-old self-advice, what would it be?

Learn to give less of AF—not everyone’s opinion of you, your ideas, matters.


Every month we spotlight an amazing woman who is part of the SheSays Boulder community. Some have shared their story as a speaker at our events. All are women who’ve inspired us with their work, heart, and vision. Want to connect with an amazing community of woman making a difference in the digital world?
