Rachel’s diverse career experiences provides her valuable perspective on conducting neutral investigations. From litigating trials on board an aircraft carrier, conducting hearings in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, to working in the halls of Congress, Rachel has navigated conflict at the highest level. This unique training is what led her to seek out a role as a neutral investigator, to resolve disputes before escalation.

She is proud to bring experience and empathy to investigations, to truly listen and respect the parties in each matter, and provide a path forward for every employer.

Experience

Rachel has conducted more than 100 investigations during her career. She has extensive experience in both the public and private sectors, and has handled investigations against high level executives and public officials.

Rachel’s legal career began in the Navy’s Judge Advocate General Corps, where she litigated at the trial and appellate level, as well as clerking for the Navy and Marine Corps Appellate Court. She also served as general counsel to commanding officers both onshore and at sea, advising on employee matters and overseeing investigations.

Rachel next served in the U.S. Congress as a Defense Fellow. She worked for a Congressperson sitting on the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, where she assisted in several high-profile Congressional investigations. She then moved to the Department of Defense, managing a team practicing before the military commissions in Guantanamo Bay Cuba and overseeing investigations on one of the largest criminal cases in United States history.

Rachel then pivoted to the private sector, working for a firm representing both employers and employees, as well as conducting neutral employment-related investigations. She provided workplace training, including on sexual harassment prevention and labor laws, and advised companies on improving workplace policies and procedures.

Outside the Office

Rachel enjoys exploring California’s central coast with her family, wine tasting, reading a great novel, and coaching, planning, or attending her children’s many activities.
