Rachel Whaley, MSW
Meet Rachel
Rachel is a social worker, youth development leader, and health equity advocate who provides resilience-building strategies to pediatric providers across Georgia. Rachel's passion for adding conversations about mental and emotional health in healthcare spaces comes from her own experiences growing up with a chronic autoimmune condition. Before joining Strong4Life, Rachel managed wellness programming for summer camps throughout the Midwestern U.S. Rachel also previously lived in Costa Rica and worked with community partners throughout Central and South America to help integrate wellness curriculum into classroom lessons.
Rachel earned her Bachelor of Arts in social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to earn her Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; however, her most valuable learning experiences come from working directly with children and families throughout the community.
Rachel loves to travel, bake, hike and care for her adorable (and mischievous) puppy named Captain Cuddles. When she’s not working, you can find her resting or connecting with friends and family.
