Rachel graduated from Massey University with a Bachelor of Applied Science in 1997 and spent time travelling overseas, then working in the fertiliser and animal health service industries prior to Consulting. Her and her partner own a 890ha sheep and beef breeding and finishing property so she has first hand experience in the industry.

Rachel enjoys supporting farmers to plan and create a business that meets their financial, environmental and personal expectations.

Outside of work she enjoys supporting her children in their chosen sports, horse trekking, or spending time in her garden or on-farm.
