"Rachael is a force of nature. She expertly owns every step of a research project’s lifecycle—from early stakeholder alignment to impactful deliverable. Her thoughtful approach to communication continues to inspire me. Rachael knows how to make sense of ambiguity and is a self-starter, identifying the areas where research will have optimal impact. Working and learning alongside her has been a high-point in my career!"

- Senior UX Researcher at Allergan Aesthetics

“Rachael is an incredibly gifted researcher, excellent communicator, and wonderful colleague. She joined Allergan Aesthetics as we were rapidly scaling our UX team and still building out UX research as a practice. She jumped right in and very quickly learned how to navigate the ever changing environment, building trust with her teams (and cross-functional partners) and carving a path to quickly make an impact on product decisions. She makes our team better every day and working with her has been a joy!”

“Rachael is an absolute rock star! I genuinely have no idea how she does so much as one person. I'm always shocked when I hear from other Product folks how much value she is providing to them, because I truly don't understand how she gets everything done and with the high level of quality she delivers.”

- Group Product Manager at Weedmaps

“Rachael is a high performer and incredible asset to the team and company. In particular, Rachael managed to drive results and serve the teams during a time of having the 2nd researcher on maternity leave and the 3rd researcher left for another opportunity. Rachael did not skip a beat, and took on the work of 3 people.”

“Rachael is just an excellent researcher. She has this uncanny ability of getting the exact information we need from clients or internal stakeholders, without leading them with her own/or the team's biases. She is insanely thorough, but not to the point of creating too much noise - it's like the perfect balance of tons of information but the RIGHT information. Lastly, she is just genuinely helpful and a great teammate and person to work with!”

- Lead UX Designer at Weedmaps

“Rachael fully embodies the A&F leadership standards, particularly in the ways she shows up, aims high, and stays curious. As a manager, it is a wonderful feeling to have full confidence in the work your team member is doing and the way she is presenting herself (and the team) in wider conversations. Rachael's commitment is beyond question and she really strives to put forth her best effort in every project. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with such a wonderful, smart, kind, and driven person.”

(direct manager):

“Rachael is an exceptional researcher. She is extremely organized with her projects and timelines. She handled being swamped with requests for research with focus and drive. Rachael is skillful at teasing out unbiased feedback during interviews and is excellent at composing non-leading questions, capturing exact moments where users are confused or blocked.”

- Senior UX Researcher at Weedmaps

“Rachael has a sharp mind for research, an innate understanding of users, and the ability to deliver high-quality results. I have been beyond impressed with her ability to evolve, continually seeking to learn and implement UX research best practices and methods, while also focusing on how best to deliver results to internal customers (both in UX and throughout the company). Her ability to quickly learn, grow, and adapt  -- to new methods, questions, and teams -- has made her an invaluable asset to the User Experience team. She thoroughly and effectively manages all the UX research projects in a way that instills complete confidence in her approach and results.”

- UX Design Manager at Abercrombie & Fitch

“The only way to improve on Rachael's performance over the past year would be to clone her. Every team should be so lucky to get to get to work with someone like Rachael at the helm.”
