Rachael Solomon is a collaborative creative thinker with a passion for helping others succeed.
Rachael grew up in Salem Oregon, the oldest of eight. Early on she craved adventure. As she set out in life, she was drawn to the sea, working her way through many levels in the world of commercial fishing. After nine incredible years, she concluded her career, the pinnacle being her contract as a consulting Chief Steward aboard a Russian vessel.
As one door shut another opened and she started her trek through the many layers of higher education, first studying hospitality and event management. Her interest in business continually grew, and her focus became clearer. She continued in school and graduated with her bachelor of science in business administration from Eastern Oregon University focusing on leadership, organization, and management. As she graduated her interests solidified in nonprofit work, and she continued her education at Marylhurst University in Oregon, near Lake Oswego. She graduated with an MBA in 2012 with an emphasis in nonprofit leadership. She joined the Red Cross in June of 2013. Rachael enjoys spending time with her son, hiking, knitting and running in the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay in her spare time.
