 With almost 5 years of experience in sales and client liaising, Rachel has moved from balancing client orders at work, to balancing work & home life as a mum, to now balancing the books here at  Hav-a-Chat. 

Rachel has a mind for numbers and loves a good spreadsheet. And while making the books balance is a priority, so too is the need for compassion and flexibility when finances can be tight and stress levels are high. So, Rachel is ready and willing to work with you to arrange the right payment plan that best suits your needs when finances can seem overwhelming, and will happily assist with all your billing and account inquiries. 

Rachel has been married for 7 years and has two beautiful yet chaotic toddlers. Working at a plant nursery for the past 12 years has not dampened her love of plants. Thus, she enjoys pottering around her own garden in her free time. Rachel's other hobbies include small scale home renovations, and when the kids permit it, escaping into a good book.
