    Meet Rachel

    Before joining our StoryPoint Group team, Rachel was a journalist and wrote articles for digital and print publications across Michigan. Now, she uses her knowledge and her bachelor’s degree in writing, language and literature to communicate across our organization. She writes for our blog page, creates resources that educate about senior living, and more. The best part of Rachel’s job is getting to know residents and their families. Outside of the office, you’ll find Rachel with a book in her hand, baking in the kitchen, or on a walk with her husband, John, and their dog, Obi.

    “Everyone has a unique story to share.”
