Rachel's BioHello, I'm Rachael! I was taken on as as the Trinity Mentoring HR Director in January of 2018 after retiring my career as a registered nurse, but my time with Trinity started back in January of 2005 with Trinity Birthday Parties. I also started dating Ian at that time! We have been married since July 2010 and have 3 beautiful children with one more on the way and 2 awesome dogs! Ian is just as much my best friend and love of my life now as he was those first days back in January of 2005. I love Jesus and believe He can be found anywhere and everywhere; all you have to do is look. I also love front porch sitting, enjoying the flowers, reading a good book, and eating delicious, fresh food! |
