Ep. 007 "Community, Efficiency, and Spending Time to Have Abundance" with Rachel Proffitt

Today, I am speaking with Rachel Proffitt, Assistant Professor in the Department of Occupational  Therapy at University of Missouri. She has an impressive list of grants, publications, and awards for her teaching and research in the use of digital technologies for rehabilitation. In addition to this, she is involved locally working on utility-related initiatives in our City as well as Race Matters, Friends. She works to help bring an equity lens to the City's approach to utilities. Other activities that she does include managing the valet consignment arm of the Just Between Friends consignment sale that happens twice a year and participating in a bi-weekly book club called Nice White Parents Book Club in which we read books related to race and equity. Last, but certainly not least, she is also a mother of a school-aged son and soon-to-be mother to a newborn!
