About Me

headshot-cropped.png

Hi! My name is Rachel and I’m a digital marketer living in Buffalo, NY.
I’ve been on a computer since I was 5 years old, designing graphics and websites since I was 10, and have had an inherent desire to create content for as long as I can remember.

Earning my Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from St. Bonaventure University ignited my passion for taking a holistic approach that brings marketing and communications together in a seamless way. My approach is based on always having a strategic plan, but with the understanding that we must be flexible enough to pivot as the tides change.

Thanks to all of the amazing experiences I’ve gained thus far in my career, the guidance of many smart and talented people, and countless days spent solving problems or learning new things, I’ve been able to achieve real results for clients in a variety of industries.

Testimonials

Rachel is highly productive, extremely self-motivated, and by far one of the most organized and efficient people with whom I have ever worked.
— Joseph Pitzonka, PMP
I have witnessed her ideas come to life, from small conversations or sketches, into full-blown campaign-driven realities—with work selected by large companies with big impact (sometimes chosen over creative professionals with decades of industry experience).
— Kate Wolcott

Rachel was called on to do not only graphic design, but also key metric reporting, campaign development and analysis, etc. Never once did I view Rachel wince from the next activity, never once did she seem overwhelmed, but instead she accomplished all and helped the entire Marketing Team succeed.
— Laura Morris
She is knowledgable, ambitious, and especially meticulous about her work, and it shines through in every project, little or big.
— Brandon Schlager
I’ve known Rachel for over a decade. She is extremely motivated, passionate, and a self-starter. She is continuously working on improving herself and becoming more knowledgeable and is always my go-to person if I have a question. She has worked hard and spent a lot of time not only taking courses but also taking the time to research and teach herself about many topics as well. I have watched her grow over the years and do not doubt that she would excel in anything she puts her mind to.
— Rachael Cohen
