She spent more than 15 years in performing arts marketing, first at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and later at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. During that time, she developed expertise in brand strategy, public relations, social media, audience engagement, database management, and project management, all while indulging her lifelong love of live performance.

In 2015, Rachael shifted her professional focus to Jewish communal work, serving as Director of Admissions and Development Coordinator at Politz Day School of Cherry Hill. There, she helped drive significant enrollment growth and spearheaded several successful fundraising initiatives. Since joining JFCS in 2019, she has been passionate about sharing the agency’s mission and shining a spotlight on the life-changing work happening every day across the organization.

Rachael holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School for the Arts and a Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music. A classically trained soprano, she has performed with the Opera Festival of New Jersey and Central City Opera and pursued advanced studies at the Tanglewood Music Festival and in Oderzo, Italy. These days, however, her most frequent performances take place behind the wheel, where she can often be found giving enthusiastic (and unsolicited) concerts to her daughters.

A longtime Cherry Hill resident, Rachael is the proud mother of four daughters and one son-in-law and an active member of the South Jersey Jewish community. She serves on the Board of Young Israel of Cherry Hill and shares her home with her three teenage daughters and Ruby Sparkles, a rescue pit bull who firmly believes she is both head of household and Employee of the Month.
