Prior to this appointment, she was Director of Research and Public Policy with Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, where she significantly increased the visibility of the organization with government and raised millions for child and youth programs. Over the course of her career in the nonprofit sector, she has advocated for the advancement and rights of children, youth, and women in Canada and internationally. Rachel holds a PhD in Education from McGill University for her research on social movement learning. She credits the MPM program for improving her strategic communication skills and for making her a more effective lobbyist. \u201cThe program helped me understand the political landscape from the perspective of the government and of the opposition.
