She has worked full time at 4 of our locations, 3 of those locations she  managed. She currently lives in Charles City, where she is officed, with her husband and 3 children. 

Rachel has always lived by the rule to treat people the way you would like to be treated. She learned that in elementary school and still goes by it as that was also how she was raised and what her parents taught her. Rachel’s leadership style is pretty laid back but she also does not allow herself to be walked on or by people who treat others with disrespect and she always believes in doing what is best for the company. She has learned a lot from her own past leaders of leadership styles she likes and leadership styles she doesn't like and has learned and grown from both. 

On a more personal note, Rachel’s favorite artist is Taylor Swift. She loves the color pink and during her time off work she loves spending it with her family. Rachel considers Appliance Plus her second family and her second home and she loves it ! Rachel enjoys watching employees in our company grow, and succeed. She has gotten to watch several people hired as part timers grow to now be part of our leadership team. It amazes her to see such growth in individuals and the company. She loves that there are employees that have just as much passion for the company as she does !
