“I have had the privilege of working with Rachel over the past seven years both as a Technical Assistance provider and as an independent contractor. Rachel is a true professional who is highly competent!
She is nationally known and highly regarded in the field of VR and is often sought for consultation as a subject matter expert.
Rachel has superb communication skills, she is extremely accessible, competent, and articulate. Rachel takes the time to understand the scope of a project, including expectations and outcomes. She keeps the customer apprised of milestones and consistently delivers quality products on time.
The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation has repeatedly contracted to directly work with Rachel to conduct a Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment, in no small part due to her small group facilitation, presentation, and focus group skills.
She fully understood the scope of work and complexity of major projects. I have attended numerous of her presentations and am in awe of her ability to communicate complex issues to large groups of individuals so that even a novice can understand the topic.
She is highly skilled in her ability to address and respond to questions extemporaneously. I have full confidence in her abilities and expect that the Division will contract with her again in the future.”
Teresa P — The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
“Perfect for team building!
Rachel presented our staff and volunteers with tips and insights and valuable activities to address the systemic issue of Burnout in our complex work and private lives. Rachel is an excellent storyteller, she is approachable and gave our group a safe place to step out of our work roles and sink into our full personalities. The VIA Institute on Character survey was an excellent way to further understand ourselves. It really was a fantastic way to learn about our co-workers and volunteers. 'Taking Care of You' would be a great addition to any workplace..”

“As a parent of two adult children with mental health and other disabilities, navigating the complex web of support services and resources can often feel like an insurmountable task. However, our experience with Rachel has been nothing short of transformative…
…including how she took the time to truly understand our unique situation and the specific needs of our children. One of the most daunting aspects of dealing with adult service state agencies, nonprofits, and the medical system is the endless paperwork and bureaucratic red tape. Rachel stepped in and expertly guided us through the maze of forms and applications, ensuring that everything was completed accurately and on time. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were truly impressive, and her ability to track deadlines and follow up with agencies alleviated so much of our stress and anxiety. Rachel's support was invaluable not only in navigating agencies and resources but also during the tragic passing of one of our children. She seamlessly coordinated with Medicaid, hospice, the VA and others for funeral arrangements, offering both logistical assistance and emotional support. Rachel's professionalism, empathy, and unwavering commitment to our family exemplify the true meaning of compassion and advocacy, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had her in our corner.”

The training she provided on the vocational rehabilitation program was phenomenal, making complex material accessible and engaging for our entire team. Rachel’s deep industry expertise was evident in every aspect of her presentation; she was incredibly well-prepared, organized, and professional throughout. She tailored the training to our specific needs, and her insights left a lasting impact on our staff’s understanding and enthusiasm for the program. Our team is genuinely excited about the prospect of working with Rachel again, and I highly recommend her to any organization seeking expertise in this field. Rachel brings a rare combination of professionalism and approachability that truly sets her apart. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

“In a word, Rachel is fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone…
I have had the opportunity to get to know and work with Rachel for several years now. We had been paired to present legal issues to families with special needs children on topics such as guardianships, special needs trusts, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits. Upon our first meeting I was immediately drawn to her down-to-earth, authentic and positive attitude about her work and life in general. I then quickly discovered Rachel's deep knowledge and expertise related to governmental benefits available for special needs individuals and their families, and her passion for utilizing her knowledge and resources to enable individuals and families to succeed. Rachel has been a tremendous help and resource to me personally and to the clients I have sent to her who have needed help navigating the complexities involved in obtaining governmental benefits.”

“We highly recommend RCAdvising LLC for their professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to excellence…
RCAdvising LLC has been instrumental in transforming our Vocational Rehabilitation policy manual at the Delaware Division for the Visually Impaired. Rachel's expertise in regulatory compliance, combined with her collaborative approach, enabled us to create a comprehensive, modern document that not only meets current standards but also aligns seamlessly with our mission to deliver effective, consumer-centered services. Rachel worked closely with our team to ensure every aspect of the manual reflected our values and goals, and she went above and beyond by providing on-site training to familiarize our staff with the new policies. The updated manual is now a vital resource for our team, ensuring clarity and consistency, and ultimately empowering us to better serve the visually impaired community.”
