RACHEL FARAHBAKHSH
Director of Operations
Rachel Farahbakhsh joined the LeaderSpring team in November 2014. She is LeaderSpring’s wisdom trust and keeps the office running, answering any and all questions that come up! Prior to joining LeaderSpring Rachel worked as the Operations Manager at Citizen Schools California where she was the “go-to” person for human resources, finance, and operations for the region. Rachel spent three years in Guatemala with Safe Passage/Camino Seguro before making the move to California.
A child of immigrants (Cuban and Persian), Rachel has honed her ability as an empathetic interpreter of language, culture, values, and systems and likes to connect people to each other and to processes that make them more efficient and effective. Outside of the office you can find Rachel dancing Cuban salsa and performing samba reggae with Batalá San Francisco.
