Biography
Born and raised in San Diego, Rachael received her bachelor’s degree in physics and a minor in astronomy from the University of Virginia. Upon graduation, she began a career in government service, including a three-year post abroad in England as a staff officer in support of the Department of Defense and most recently as an intelligence analyst within the Department of the Treasury. Involving the intersection of emerging technology and financial intelligence to improving indicators and warning intelligence sharing within convention warfare, her career has been rewarding, challenging, and never without surprises. If you’re looking to find her, the best places to look would be pop punk concerts (the sadder, the better), national parks (especially the ones with caves), or art museums (art deco and impressionism preferred).
