To help get to know Rachel a little better, here are some fun interview questions she graciously answered for this post.

What is one of your favorite quotes? 

“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.”  I also really like "Never lift more than you can eat." -Miss Piggy.

What chore do you absolutely hate doing? 

Wiping the kitchen counters, it is messy and the crumbs can get on the floor and then it has to be cleaned up too. 

What is your favorite form of exercise? 

Walking to the fridge, followed shortly by lifting the remote and pushing buttons.

What’s your least favorite mode of transportation? 

Motorcycle, they scare me.

If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? 

32, It is a nice round number. I miss it :)

If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be? 

The signing of the declaration of independence and then the ratification of the constitution. 

If you were reincarnated as an animal/drink/ice cream flavor, what would it be?  

I wasn't sure so I found some quizzes online and they said I would be a dog, orange juice , and cookies and cream ice cream. However, I don't even like orange juice much.

If you were immortal for a day, what would you do? 

I would leap around the world and see all the beautiful places that I have never seen. 

If you could only have one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

Burnt almond fudge ice cream. (It is well balanced protein, fat, and carbs. Most well rounded food you will ever have). This is assuming of course that I have a rapid metabolism.

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet? 

Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was an amazingly courageous individual. He stood for principle and right under great adversity and it eventually cost him his life.

Rachel is such an asset to our team. She provides a great and important service to our clients and does it very well. We definitely appreciate all that Rachel brings to our company and thank her for all of her excellent work and faithful service to our clients, employees, and community.
