Meanwhile, Rachel’s background in student support for first generation and nontraditional students as well as designing diversity and inclusion curriculums gives her the unique blend of skills necessary to support individuals in their journey to becoming allies and champions of inclusion efforts.  
Both Rachel and Kelsey are mothers who are passionate about elevating the invisible work that women do in the workplace and at home. 
Today, on The HR L&D Podcast, Kelsey and Rachel dive deep into their experiences to demonstrate how HR professionals can create lasting gender equity transformations within their businesses.
