Rachel Grace

Profession: Environmental Scientist, Engineer, Entrepreneur, International Development Specialist

Interests: I love outdoor activities from yard work to whitewater kayaking, to whooshing down a snowy mountainside, to technical dirt-biking over rough terrain, or hanging out in a hammock for a siesta. Reading for fun would be nice but mostly I read to learn things. Small engineering and craft projects can bring hours of fun. For some reason I seem to enjoy starting businesses for people. There are so many things that I enjoy that listing them all would be silly. Suffice it to say that I live with gusto.
