About Rachel
- Having been born and raised in Colorado, the outdoors was always a big part of my life.
- In college, I got to explore hunting and fishing more deeply, which really solidified my passion for wildlife and the outdoors.
- I was going to school for biology but wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do.
- While working at a retail store in college, I met someone who worked for Colorado Parks and Wildlife who invited me on a ride along—that experience was the deciding factor for my career path.
- I changed my major to wildlife biology with the goal of becoming a district wildlife manager.
- After graduating, I started my career as a park ranger for Larimer County.
- I was hired as a district wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which I did for eight years before being promoted to my current position as area wildlife manager.
