Rachel's journey in non-profit management began after she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Warner Pacific University. She dedicated seven years to this field before an international move took her to Mexico City. There, she contributed to a church planting team and taught at an international school.

After a year in Mexico, Rachel returned to the U.S. and married Daniel Graham. Together, they moved to Soroti, Uganda, where they served with Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM) for nine years.

In 2021, Rachel and her family returned to Portland, Oregon. Currently, she serves as CVM's Operations Manager, a role that perfectly blends her skills in cheerleading group achievement, pivot tables, and passion for global ministry.

Rachel and Daniel have a middle-school-aged son, Nathan, who fills their free-time with basketball and baseball games and band concerts. Rachel's personal interests include reading, cooking delicious food, playing board games, and sharing hearty laughter, especially when all those elements come together.
