Too often, new technologies pass by the nonprofit world, and small-to-medium sized nonprofits suffer for it. Rachel believes in the importance of making new media technologies approachable and accessible to these nonprofits.

Since joining the foundation in 2005, Rachel has worked with its grantees and partner organizations to create effective online video and website communications. With the help of Rachel's digital storytelling and technical implementation, the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation has created and hosted several short documentaries to help nonprofits raise awareness and grow their audiences. Recently Rachel has focused on 'making the message mobile' through the incorporation of portable video devices such as iPods and has assisted an online capital campaign using internet advertising for nonprofit fundraising.

Her past experience in nonprofit management and technology includes serving as Senior Research Associate at the Center for Arts Management and Technology (CAMT). Rachel holds a Masters degree in Arts Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelors degree in Speech Communications from Susquehanna University.
